SUMMARY: The number of homes and the supply of homes on the market are down significantly by 50% or greater. Also, there is a decrease of new listings coming on the market.
CONDITION: Seller’s Market as reflected by the increased prices and diminished inventory. Selling price of homes has increased to almost 14% over last year’s pricing.
The situation remains the same as multiple buyers continue to bid on the same property resulting in what is termed as a “bidding war”. In many situations, buyers are paying over “list price” to win the home.
