What Do The Upcoming Months Look Like For Rochester Real Estate?
As you can see from the information provided above, the Rochester real estate market is still very strong. While the number of sales was down in January 2017 comparing to 2016, the sale price averages are up substantially. One of the primary reasons the number of sales were down in 2017 was due to the shortage of homes for sale in Rochester.
Homeowners who're thinking about selling a home in Rochester will give themselves a huge advantage by listing their home sooner rather than later. Waiting until April, May, and June when there are way more homes for sale could potentially cost Rochester homeowners thousands of dollars due to the additional inventory.
