Traverse City - Weekly Market Statistics - December 17, 2012

Inventory levels for off water homes are at the lowest they have been in many years.  With activity and values up over this time last year, it is a great time to list your home.  We are currently at a 7 month inventory level, which means that if your home were put on the market today at a fair market price, it should sell within 7 months.  If you are looking to buy, you do not have as much time to make decisions.  Homes are selling quickly, don't miss out on the home of your dreams, act today.  Cherry Wings Realty is happy to assist you with your home buying and selling needs.  Call us today at 231-944-9906.

Inventory levels are contacting significantly with off water homes under 7 months. This is the lowest level I have seen in several years. While this time of year is typically a slow time, if buyers are on the fence I suggest they move quickly as tight inventory levels will lead to increasing values. It also offers opportunity for sellers to move their property, homes which are staged and priced competitively are moving quickly.

 

Have a Merry Christmas and get to working on that 2013 business plan. Failure to plan is planning to fail......
