May // market update
May 2021:
The extreme seller's market that began to develop in late January marches on as we enter into what is traditionally the 'busy season' for Real Estate (read: highest # of transactions). Historically this is the time of year where homes sell for the most as our market appreciates seasonally until just after the Fourth of July.
This year may be an exception to our predictable seasonality as homes continue to appreciate at record breaking rates (month-over-month appreciation attached homes: 7.3% + detached: 4.28%). Due to limited inventory and what Economists are calling "hyper demand" homes are selling faster than ever before and breaking pricing records at a steady clip (Average sold price for detached homes: $699,039 + attached: $444,252).
Until we see some relief either on the supply or demand side I predict this market will continue to be firmly entrenched in seller favor and prove to be one of the most profitable places to live in + invest (year-over-year appreciation 24.20%).
I have solutions to the challenges this market presents. Whether you need to sell before buying (and would prefer to shop non-contingent), are a first-time buyer, or just desire to maximize your sale's profitability I'm operating and optimizing these types of transactions weekly. Please don't hesitate to reach out to learn more about how you can capitalize on what is happening.
Congratulations to all of my clients making moves in this dynamic and exciting market over the last month!
Please know I'm always here to support you, friends, and family in your (their) real estate journey.
Wishing you all the best!
