Inventory continued its gradual decline in November. As the inventory number dropped below 8000 for the first time since October 2005, buyers continue to struggle to buy properties. New pendings slightly outpaced new listings last month which has been the trend most of 2012 and a big reason for the declining inventory.
Closed sales remain strong. 2430 houses sold in metro Orlando last month. This puts us at a 3.2 month supply of homes currently available which is considered a seller's market. (7847 inventory / 2430 sales = 3.2 months) .
Interest rates are continue to remain low. The average mortgage rate on a 30-year fixed loan in November was 3.47%. It is a great time to lock in your interest rate either on a new purchase or a refinance. Personally, I have refinanced several properties this year to take advantage of these amazingly low rates.
Median prices went up slightly in November. The lack of inventory has created bidding wars which are in turn driving up prices.
