Thank
you for visiting my blog! Today, I want to share with you some important
statistics that help to show the condition of our marketplace as we head into
the cooler months of the year.
Right
now we have 3,568 homes on the market for sale and in an average month the
number of homes being sold is 411. That is a great number! Amounting to just
under 14 homes sold each day on average, this is a good indicator of
strengthened consumer confidence – particularly in the housing market.

Now,
these sales could be because of the Presidential election as many speculate,
however in my experience I would say it has a lot more to do with the record
setting low interest rates we are seeing in the industry these days. With the
government not doing much to raise the base rate, we can expect for at least a
little while longer, for these interest rates to hover at these amazing lows.
Inventory
levels have come down from 10 months’ of supply last year at this time to 8
months this year. What this means is that if no new properties were to come on
the market, it would take 8 months to sell all the homes that are currently
available.
On a countywide
scale, our average number of Days On Market is currently at 97 days. If you
look at my listings alone, the average number of Days On Market is just 59 days
– meaning that I am selling homes faster.

What
does all this mean to you as a buyer or seller?
For
sellers, clearly this is a great time to list your home. With inventory moving
down and demand increasing sellers are enjoying much more success than they
have had over the past several years.
Times
are not tough for buyers either as they are still able to lock in amazing
interest rates on 30-year fixed loans and even better on 15-year notes.
