What is going on with the market?
Similar trends are statewide and in almost all the counties is the following,. Virtually every category is down except median sales price. The # of Listings are ranging from 10% down up to as high as 25% down….that means 25% less homes since 2021 are being listed and sold.
Another very important statistic , a 500k house with 20% down (100k)…….your affordability (principal and interest only ) has gone down by $200,000 in this example!!! This HAS to eventually start dropping prices. People can only afford so much per month. This is a correction that we are in the beginning stages of.
