With the polar vortex in full force over the last couple of days, not many buyers were out looking at homes at the end of January. But the rest of the month proved profitable for many sellers. According to the Westfield Area Market Report for January 2019, a slew of newly constructed homes hit the market recently. With an absorption rate of 3.88 months, prices continue to rise. Now's a great time to put your property on the market.
