There are currently 1387 homes listed for sale in our multiple listing service. This number is down from about 1550 In prior months. We are selling homes at a rate of about 104 a month so there is still a large inventory on hand. A buyers market is defined as more than 6 months of home inventory. It is definitely a buyer’s market as we currently have 13 months worth of inventory.

On the plus side, interest rates are still incredibly low. I have a customer that got a 3.75% rate in mid October. In the early 1980’s I remember rates went as high as 18% so it is a great time to buy and lock in a great rate.

Feel free to call or email me if you would like to have a customized absorption rate or a Comparable Market Analysis for your property. Home sales in each neighborhood can vary greatly.
