WOW - what a difference a year makes! The differences between these two years is amazing to see side by side. Homes sold are up significantly year over year, days on market is down, and the average index of sold price to list price is through the roof!

If you are a buyer in today's market, the lower days on market means you MUST have a pre approval letter to submit with your offer. You should also be prepared to offer close to list price if not at list price (of course, this depends on property condition and location).

If you are a seller in today's market, you should be prepared to have your house SHINE for pictures, be 100% prepared for showings the first few days on market, and have your next destination secured to ensure a smooth closing.
