If you’re looking to make a move during the summer before school starts in the fall, now is the best time to start your search. The weather is clearing up and it’s a great time go out on a weekend and look at houses with your realtor. Don’t start too late or you’ll be stuck with a closing date in September or October.
If you’d be interested in setting up an appointment to go see houses, please contact me anytime. I’d be happy to help you with your home search.

Sold in the last 12 months – 277

The number of available homes for buyers to purchace is under 90 which is again a new low. The sales are steady as they averaging 1 per day. The summer is traditionally a slow time of year. Next week the kids go back to school. In 3 weeks when autumn begins the market should have picked up. It will be interesting to see the new listings that apear at this time. Both prices and rates remain at a desireable level. Hopefully sales increase and continue the favorable market that everyone is enjoying.
