How to Learn about a Local Neighborhood

What’s on the Market?

There were about 299 homes for sale in December 2019. In January there were 269 homes, a decrease of 10%. This drop in inventory naturally bumps up the competitiveness between buyers since inventory is lacking. While the sellers shouldn’t expect a huge increase in their homes value or mass competition, homeowners can expect a decent return on investments, especially if they have improved the house and can compete with newer homes in developing subdivisions.

Three-bedroom and four-bedroom homes take up the majority of the inventory, however, because one and two-bedroom homes are more unusual, pricing these homes correctly from the beginning mean that they will likely sell faster.

What should buyers and sellers do?

As we head into spring, more inventory will saturate the market, which is great news for buyers, but sellers may find themselves stuck on the market a little longer than they’d like. Listing your house now may heed a greater chance of selling for a higher price than waiting 2 to 3 months.
