Let's get to those Northwest Suburban real estate questions!
What's been happening in our current real estate market? What's trending? The housing inventory is now the highest it has been since the recession started. In our area 3 times more listings come on the market than closings. Competition continues to be a factor in our Midwest market as we have not recovered as quickly as other larger markets.
Our Northwest Suburban market is still considered a 'balanced market' but competition will become more relevant over the next few months. Inventory has increased 15% in March alone.
And those Prices? Prices have increased slightly over March and increased from 2014. The indicators are showing that the prices will continue to increase but only marginally. Our market is considered balanced but my opinion but we have too much inventory for prices to increase. Just the basic market presumption of supply and demand.
Average Days on the Market tells homeowners how long it's going to take on the average to sell their home. Each market area and subdivision is selling differently and was effected differently so there is no hard & fast rule here. Market times are still over 90 days and slightly higher for the Multi-family sector as the graph indicates.
Look for an agent that knows the market.
