A Mix of Market Conditions

A Mix of Market Conditions

Real Estate Market Is Currently Mixed

Looking at the current state of the real estate market, the best description would be that there’s a lot of variation.  It’s a mix of conditions and circumstances. The market is both strong and also showing signs of weakening. So how is that possible? Here’s a real-life example: We recently had a listing receive multiple offers, with several interested buyers, and at the same time another property fielded zero offers. In a market with historically low amounts of inventory, this is an anomaly. 

Right now, we’re seeing a lot of variability in prices and offers based on the type of property going to market. There is a difference in interest levels depending on whether the property is highly attractive, with few if any flaws, and whether the property is simply solid or average. Mediocre properties that look dated, with few if any upgrades are currently flooding the market, with many of the sellers still trying to command top dollar. Those are the properties that see fewer offers.

Buying and selling in a mixed market like the one we are in is where the quality of representation truly matters. Whether you’re buying or selling in these tumultuous times, we would be honored to be your guides on this journey, and we are committed to finding you the right situation and outcome you’re looking for.
