What does this mean?
Since our July update, our inventory is increasing. Homes are sitting on the market for a few days longer than they were the month before. However, we do usually see a bit of a mid-summer lull every year. Most people are on vacation or soaking up the beautiful weather and outdoor experiences our area offer. Normally we see an increase in demand at the start of September. That being said, we are still seeing a lot of multiple offer situations and sellers getting favorable terms like no inspections, cash, etc..
We are in need of some specific inventory- larger homes (especially with acreage) in the $200,000+ range, sizable tracts of land, building lots and any kind of property in Mineral County. If you have been thinking of selling anything fitting this description, please let us know!
If you are looking to buy, this is a competitive time to purchase but new inventory has been hitting the market every week. Interest rates are going to continue to rise in the next months so you might want to take advantage of the current rates! If you are a first-time homebuyer or have questions about how to succeed in a seller’s market, please feel free to reach out to Mountainside Home Realty and we can provide you information on what a buyer’s agent is and some tips and tricks on how to handle this crazy market.
If you would like to talk to an agent about buying or selling, please reach out to Mountainside Home Realty at 301-722-0190 or email us at info@mdmountainsidehomes.com
