We expect buyer activity to remain strong through September.
57.9% of the listings that went under contract in June were on the market less than 31 days. New, well positioned listings are selling fast. Especially under $500,000.
To become a successful seller in this market requires smart strategy and an All-In mentality. All-In for both the listing agent, and the seller.
Buyers: Selection remains excellent today, but not for long. Shrinking inventory brings shrinking selection. For Prime Properties, buyers should anticipate that competition between buyers for properties below $500,000.
Mortgage rates and monthly payments remain beautifully low, but on the rise. Motivated Sellers are eager to hear from you. It’s a safe and smart time to make your move. Competition among buyers will elevate as we enter spring and summer. If you’re considering a move, the sooner the better.
