Conventional wisdom may tell you that winter isn’t a good time to sell a home, but that doesn’t hold up for this winter in Cranford! 12 Homes sold in Cranford this January – that’s 50% more than sold last January.
The number of total listings in January, 2013, was about 25% fewer than in 2012 also, which adds to the sellers market that Cranford appears to be entering.
Open houses this winter have been crowded - buyers certainly seem to know that this is the time to buy. With mortgage rates beginning to go up just a tad (see Mortgage Rates - Where are they Now?), there's a certain element of excitement and eagerness among buyers that hasn't been there for a long time.
The average home that sold in Cranford this January was on the market for less than 3 months. Slightly higher than last year, this remains a faster selling market than we've seen in Cranford for 4 out of the last 5 years.
