Sales in August show now that the slight dip in July was more of an off month rather than the start of a change in the trend we’ve had for a while. August’s increase over last August was more than what we were seeing in the first 6 months of 2016 – so to me […]
Condos fulfill many needs in a real estate market. In our area they are not only a great vacation property such as those in the beach areas but they are also an affordable alternative for first-time buyers and others when prices go up. When anything having to do with buying condos is made more […]
Sales in July were either just an off month or are the start of a change in the trend we’ve had for a while. Since August 2014, the sales number each month has been higher than the sales number for the same month in the previous year. Up to October of 2015 the increase over the […]
That question probably sounds like one of those brain teasers like “How can Joe be Tom’s father and also his grandson?” – but it isn’t. I’ve written before about how you can look at overall numbers for the country or for a state, city or county but that real estate is local and can be […]
Monthly sales volume continues to be just slightly above where it was last year (which was a fairly big jump over the year before) so there hasn’t been much change there.

Some buyers have expressed concerns lately about there being another real estate bubble forming and I want to go over some information about the current market so you see for yourself if there is a difference between the current market and the one back in 2005-2006. Here is a screenshot of an online chart produced […]
Not much has changed in the overall market trends in the last month. Sales are up slightly over last year and we are consistently seeing highest numbers for the past 10 years. We are still in the buying season so I don’t foresee much change in the next several months. Inventory is also continuing to […]
We are still in a seller’s market and inventory is hitting lows we haven’t seen since the peak back in 2005. When you are trying to buy in a market like this one it can get frustrating, especially when you approach it the same way you would approach a normal or balanced market. That is […]
Each year April is one of the peak sales months and it looks like this will be the case in 2016 too. We have been having a trend of slight increases each month over the same month in the previous year and April has continued that trend. The Spring months of March, April, May and […]
