How's The Market – March 2014 Report

How’s the market?  In March 2014 we did not see much of anything significant to report other than distressed sales (short and foreclosures) declined somewhat.   It is our opinion that the faster we lower the distressed inventory the sooner we will see more dramatic price increases and equity growth for homeowners.  How's The Market
What this means for you the buyer is that it is still a good time to enter the market while inventory exists and interest rates are historically low.   Our inventory remains near the 6 month figure which is considered normal and healthy to industry experts.   Typically the Spring brings on a “wave” of buyers and sellers.   If this occurs as predicted, we may very well see more competition for homes particularly in the conforming price ranges ($456,000 and under).
