So what does it all mean? Sales are increasing and prices are dropping. Bank owned and short sales are having an impact on pricing.
As April begins our inventory will increase as the snow melts. Honest advise to Seller’s… be “serious” and “realistic” in pricing.
Seller’s who price their property based on what they "NEED" to get out of the sale will not sell especially if the price is not in line with the competition. Buyer’s are coming to the table but they are well educated and not concerned with the seller’s reasons for selling.
