Summary
We have been a bit sluggish to start the year so far, but new inventory is coming onto the market every day. With well-priced properties for sale in this "peak market" time of year, average days on market tend to decrease and the number of solds tend to increase. The real question remains "at what value will these sales occur?" Market value will always be determined by what qualified buyers can & will successfully pay for properties. The "market value" trends are what I will monitor on a daily basis this time of year...
