📈 Is the Housing Market Crashing?
Not in Southwest Michigan! 🏖️
If you’ve been watching the national news, you might think the real estate market is cooling down everywhere. But right here in our corner of the Midwest, the summer market has been absolutely on fire! I am personally wrapping up my best single month ever!!!🔥
Here is a quick, jargon-free look at what is actually happening in our local neighborhoods right now (Berrien, Van Buren and Cass Counties):
🔥Homes Are Flying Off the Market: Buyers are active and ready! In July, the number of homes sold jumped a massive 13% compared to last year.
🔥Properties Are Moving Fast: If you list your home, don't expect it to sit around. The average time it takes to sell dropped to just 35 days last month.
🔥Prices Are Steady and Growing: Unlike some areas down south seeing price drops, our market is rock solid. The median sales price for the year so far is up 3%, sitting right at $299,999.
🔥A Healthy, Stable Market: Worried about a 2008-style crash? Don't be! A massive 92% of all sales in July were standard, healthy transactions. Bank-owned properties and short sales are practically non-existent right now.
While other parts of the country deal with overbuilding, our beautiful coastal and inland communities remain highly desirable and perfectly balanced. Whether you are looking to downsize, upgrade, or find that perfect summer getaway, it is a fantastic time to make a move.
If you want to know more about buying or selling your home, give me a call today and let's discuss the market in regards to your specific needs.
