The market is picking up speed again! Now, if you compare this month’s stats to those from last February, it might seem bleak. But remember that last year the market was overheated and appreciating at an unsustainable pace. To get the correct story, you need to compare this month’s stats to those from the last couple of months. The story there is that of renewal, but without the craziness. You can see the full report online at PhinneyWoodHomes.com.
The market is full active buyers who are earnestly looking for good homes. You can see that in the strong increase in the number of listed homes that go pending and the number of closed transactions, and the drop in the number of days on market and in the overall inventory levels. All these trends are pushing home prices higher, although at a modest pace.
With interest rates rising recently, it’s not yet clear what will happen to all this buyer momentum. on the sellers’ side, we see new listings every week. What’s interesting is that the sellers seem to have internalized the new market pricing, which helps keep the buyers interested.
