Hi Nina,
It must be a full-time job staying current with market changes in your area.

Carol Williams hi Carol... while I wouldn't say it's a full-time job, it's a very important part of my job. At the end of the day, I earn my money and referrals based on my knowledge of the market and expertise in navigating all kinds of market conditions.

Michael Jacobs agreed, Michael. I don't look at keeping up with the market as a "time suck."

Nina Hollander, Broker and Carol Williams - I found keeping up to date with market reports (understanding, compiling and more) helped better prepare me.  It's not a "game" but training in that manner is important.

Good morning Nina,

Taking the time to compile market reports keeps in your mind the most current market data and is exactly what people are looking for today. No one can make accurate predictions, too many variables but a trend will emerge in the next few months. Well done!

Dorie Dillard Austin TX thanks, Dorie. If I didn't do market reports I'd probably not be quite as au courant on market trends in the Charlotte region. It's a good discipline.

Nina, your sales are way down too.   I got to thinking, and wondering what last year's inventory was, as I have recorded a lot of data each day from when COVID started.   We had a TOTAL of 1814 listings on 2/20/22, and 4227 on 2/20/23, so over double, but sales are down.   We probably can attribute snow in there, but also the interest rates.

Joan Cox hi Joan... this level of sales drop last month I saw only in Fort Mill... then again, in December sales were higher than in other parts of the region. There seems to be little rhyme or reason for the month to month swings.

Hi Nina,

That chart with the trend arrows says it all.  It is a great quick-look tool.  It seems that a lot of different areas hit a slowdown at different times.  Buyers should be aware of this and be careful of sitting on the fence.
