Perhaps the better word is “lower” inventory than previous years. I, for one, do not want to curse the market by saying it’s too low and then return to the alltime high’s doubling where we are today. Our market is clicking along nicely, let’s be grateful.

Average Sales Price Up An indication that home values are on the rise which is music to the ears of those who bought at the height of the market (like me) and those on the market today to sell. It certainly isn’t the favorite tune of buyers. Timing is everything.

Slight Advantage Buyers Following the flow from last year, housing supply is beginning and staying on the low side. For Buyer’s that means a slight advantage but only in some market areas and price ranges. You need to be schooled on the stats for your neck of the woods; otherwise, you could miss out on your home (hesitation) or buyer (overpricing) of your dreams.
