Real Estate Market Update

It is commonly understood that the real estate market is not like the stock market. A real estate buyer doesn't look at the daily or weekly fluctuations. Most people don't buy and sell homes every few of months or even every couple of years. That said - the real estate market is behaving like the stock market and now sales are up, up, up.

Experts predicted the real estate market would slowly come back and that started last year. But in just the past 6 weeks, showings of homes for sale have increased dramatically. More homes have gone under contract in the last 4 weeks than is typical for this time of year. And sales are rising as a result. Inventory of homes for sale has increased at a slower rate, driving the demand even more. In other words, they are selling faster than they are coming on the market.

Here are a few single family home statistics (as of this morning):

It is commonly recognized that the housing industry is not like the currency markets. A property buyer doesn't look at the daily or regular variations.
