What are the key takeaways?
- We’re finally gaining ground where there are more homes coming on the market than are being sold. It’s not a HUGE gain, but at least a bit of a gain. That’s still a HUGE portion of homes under contract (675) and while not half the homes on the market are under contract, we’re not all that far off.
- Homes are selling FAST! Half of all homes that went under contract only needed 15 days
- Distressed (short sales and foreclosures) continue to be a fairly small segment of Warren County homes for sale. Currently the 902 homes for sale include 21 foreclosed homes and 18 short sales. Of the 306 homes sold in May, 10 were foreclosures and 2 were short sales.
- Bottom line, if you need to sell a home, there’s a lack of homes for sale and there’s still enough activity to support getting our marketing to work for you. If you’re thinking about buying, inventory is tight. We’re in peak season right now!
