The home-buying season used to kick off sometime in spring, as the snow began to melt and people tried to plan for a summer move-in. But in recent years, the limited supply of homes for sale has spurred buyers to start their hunt earlier and earlier—and now, they're...
In three out of the last four years, our highest median sales price was in May - which are the sales that were decided in March and April: I think we can expect a similar fast start to the selling season next year as pent-up demand that went unsatisfied in 2019 rushes...
Mortgage rates are improving nicely, and at the right time of year! We should see more market surge over the next couple of weeks. I mis-spoke on the video yesterday when I said the median sales price is $561,000 - it's $591,400. But still well under our neighbors to...

We saw yesterday that we had 5% fewer January listings year-over-year, giving the impression that sellers aren't rushing their homes to market. But we came into 2019 with more leftover listings from last year - and they are already starting to pile up: NSDCC...
The Big Game is over, so many will turn their full attention towards moving! We're off to a good start: Mortgage rates are about the same as they were last year, The NSDCC inventory isn't exploding, and The NSDCC Pendings have jumped up 19% in the last two weeks! You...
We were due for a surge in market activity with rates coming down, and the Chargers and rain both being done. Several agents are reporting increased activity over the last few days, and it seems like buyers are engaging. We should see heightened activity for the...
