What’s Happening in the Real Estate Market?

Welcome back! I want to give you a quick update on what’s been happening in our real estate market, lately.

As I have mentioned in previous videos, prices have remained flat. The price per square foot is still around $165.

The absorption rate, though, is dropping because inventory is decreasing. When inventory drops, we shift into the direction of a sellers market.

Previously we had inventory of 12-16 months, now we have 11 months of inventory. While we aren’t fully in a sellers market, it is headed that way.

If you are thinking about buying, now is the time. Buy now before prices increase and you have to compete with multiple other buyers for your dream home.

Call me if you have any questions. I’d love to help!

Christine - “He strategically priced my house and that definitely exceeded my expectations."

Cathy - "I really like Andy because he does a good job, he’s thorough, and he’s too the point. He was successful in selling our home for about the asking price and he was willing to meet the contractor when we needed repairs since we were 2 and a half hours away. We had a good experience and I would highly recommend Andy to anyone that needs a Realtor!"

Joe - "We had really good results with Andy. He was very honest about what my house was worth and he was always involved. He kept me up-to-date with weekly emails about who was looking at my property and the statistics on how they were looking at it. I was never in the dark! He is one the best agents I’ve ever met!"

Ashley - "I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. Andy is very knowledgeable in his field and he really helped us find our dream home. He was always willing to work around our schedule and the communication was always open. It was a delightful experience to have worked with the Around Town Team, they are one of the best!"

Mike - "Andy did anything I could have possibly wanted. He would met us when we needed him to meet us and he always made himself available to us. Andy really helped us through every step of the process, including all of the paperwork. He did a great job and I’d give his number to anyone!"

TJ - "It was pretty seamless form the time we started working with Andy, he really understood what we were looking for and was able to work within the budget we had in place. He was able to work around our schedule and he really looked out for our best interested. When we had our bid thrown out, Andy guided us through that process and was able to help us from a comparable home that still met our criteria. It was a really good decision that we listened to Andy’s advice."

Chris - "They were excellent! When we were selling, we listed it on a Monday and it was sold that Tuesday! When we were purchasing we were looking for foreclosures so he had to take me out multiple times to look at homes. We ended up looking at a lot of houses that we didn’t end up getting but it never deterred him, he just kept going and finding more for me to look at."

Kara - "I was able to sell my condo and purchase a new home, and it was seamless with Andy’s help. He was able to recommend people to me, like a lawyer or a mortgage broker. Whenever I called him, he answered right away. When we were closing on the new house, we had some issues with the seller, and he was immediately on the phone and alleviating that issue. He is a fabulous real estate agent to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone!"
