Local Market Update: May 2019

Local Market Update: May 2019

We’re in the thick of buying and selling season. As the warm weather moves in and school dismisses for the summer, it signals a time of change for many families. Demand is high and the supply of homes for sale in the area is rapidly increasing to meet that demand.
 
In general, the health of the real estate market is correlative to a wide variety of factors not just limited to supply and demand. As a broker with 29 years of experience, I tend to evaluate the market frequently and on a very localized level. Having solid insights into the number of homes sold (demand) and number of homes on the market (supply), average sale price, median sold price, maximum sold price, and total volume sold generally gives me and my clients a good taste of what’s going on in that specific community’s real estate.
