Many are happy to see that home prices have appreciated just over 21% in the last year, but the question becomes, “How long will this continue? What signs should we be looking for to know when the market will change?”

First, know that there are around 4,300 listings currently available on the market, where there would normally be around 30,000. That’s a drastic reduction of inventory. With just over 15 days of inventory on the market, that means if no other homes came on the market, we would sell out of everything in about two weeks.

When supply is low, home prices rise because there are more buyers available than there are homes for sale, and people who need to buy a home will pay more in order to outbid competing buyers on the market.

We’ll be watching these trends closely and let you know what we can expect in terms of inventory and home prices as the market progresses. In the meantime, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
