The National Association of Realtors said on Thursday what home buyers in many parts of the United States have known for months: it’s becoming a seller’s market.

Now is the time to showcase your home and get the most exposure! Sellers Needed! Need to Sell?Want to Move?Time to move on with your life?
Yes, that is right! The market is shifting so fast in Ocala & Marion County, that in certain segments and price ranges we are now in a SELLERS MARKET!
Our inventory has decreased to ~3,400 homes for sale, a 34% decrease in just over one year. And at the average monthly selling rate of ~370 homes/month we still have a 9 month supply which is still in “buyer’s market” range.
However, remove ~ ½ of the inventory that is still over priced, and that becomes a 4.5 months of supply. (3 comments)
