- Active Inventory: 42 Homes
Zion's Take: "We are seeing a return to seasonality. Homes that are priced correctly and staged well are still receiving multiple offers within the first weekend."
What This Means for Sellers
If you are thinking of selling, do not wait until May. The inventory shortage is most acute right now. By listing in February or March, you face less competition from other sellers.
3 Tips for a Quick Sale:
- Price Aggressively: Buyers are price-sensitive due to rates.
- Staging Matters: Virtual staging is a cost-effective must-have.
- Pre-Inspection: Fix minor issues before the buyer finds them.
What This Means for Buyers
Be prepared to move fast. While you may not see the bidding wars of 2021, good homes still go quickly. Ensure your loan pre-approval is fully underwritten, not just pre-qualified.
