That's over 3.5 times the number of homes sold in February. Now THAT is a nice number boding well for the coming months. Stick with us for the details and the context of the Lebanon housing market.

So what are the key takeaways from this month's numbers?
- As we mentioned at the beginning, not a huge month for completed sales. 18 homes exchanging ownership is more or less typical for a February when you look at 2010 to present sales. The number of homes under contract is another story, with 69 working their way to the closing table, so expect March and April sales totals to climb as they typically do.
- The market is shrinking, as homes going under contract is exceeding the number of homes coming on them market. We're down to 119 homes not under contract. When you spread that across all price points selection thins out quickly.
- Time to sell increased on average to well over 3 months. However, 1/2 the homes still go under contract in less than 30 days. Those sellers who get their home ready and get the price right from the start can still have a quick sale.
- Distressed properties remain insignificant. Just 1 of the 18 homes sold were foreclosed or short sales, and of the 119 on the market, just 4 foreclosures and no short sales.
So what does this mean to you as a Lebanon single family home owner?
NO CHANGE FROM LAST MONTH: Homes for sale in SHORT supply. Buyers are anxious for something new to look at and buy. Considering all the factors right now in the sellers' favor, if you're thinking about selling NOW might be better than waiting for Spring, assuming your home is show ready or could be soon. Give us a call and we can meet and determine what is best for your personal circumstances.
You're not going up against significant new construction in MOST communities, but places like Shaker Run and Trails of Shaker Run new construction do challenge your ability to sell.

NO CHANGE HERE EITHER: There are now even FEWER homes available to buy!! The spike in number of homes under contract clearly indicates you as a buyer have competition! Watch for new homes for sale that fit your needs and ACT quickly. Waiting for the weekend might be the difference between getting your dream home and being told "Sorry, we just accepted an offer!".
The selection of foreclosed/short sale homes is almost nonexistent, so don't count on finding one to buy, much less one in good condition.
