SELLERS, THIS IS THE MOMENT! SELL NOW!

The inventory continues to remain tight. There are now 28 active listings this week. The market is still very active with many Buyers and that is great news for Sellers. Please refer to the articles posted on our website.

Seventeen (17) listings are priced over $500,000. Two (2) properties are listed over $1,000,000. Ten (10) active listings have had a price reduction (6 this week). We are in a hot Sellers' market, but uncertainties lie ahead with the pandemic resurge, impact of the elections, economy, and likely increased inventory.

MULTIPLE OFFERS ARE BACK AND LISTINGS ARE SELLING OVER LIST PRICE!!

Mortgage interest rates continue to be historically low, and there are serious Buyers buying! Timing is everything. The demand is high for properties under $400,000. There are currently two (2) listings under $400,000. This makes it more difficult for Buyers looking in that range due to the lack of inventory in that range. Competition from multiple offers have become more frequent. Only seven (7) properties are priced between $400,000-$500,000. Nine (9) properties are priced between $500,000-$700,000. Six (6) properties are priced between $800,000 and over $1 million.

Property price reductions? 
What does this mean? 

Usually, the property was overpriced from the beginning. 
However, sellers are recognizing the market change.  

There are less price reductions as the inventory decreases.

Sellers that haven’t been able to sell their property in this market should re-evaluate their strategy 
and adjust accordingly based on the current market circumstances.
