Our market remains busy and is currently just in seller's market territory with home absorption at 5.6 months. However, land lags behind at 11.3 months, indicating a buyer's market. Unit sales are up slightly while sales volume is down over this time last year. Interest rates, higher prices, and economic uncertainty are the main drivers. Interest rates have been fluctuating daily around 6.3% + or- for a primary home and at 7.6% for 2nd homes and investment properties. Inventory remains high but is down over this time last year. It is a great time to sell! We will continue to keep a watchful eye on the economy and how home sales are being impacted.
I am always here to assist and/or answer any questions you may have!
