Market Temperature- Warm for Sellers, Good for Buyers too
Home sales in the region are still favorable for sellers, but the rise in prices we’ve seen in the past few years is leveling off. For example, Zillow previously predicted home values would rise 2.5% this year, and now are predicting a 0.2% rise. Sellers, take this with a grain of salt- the median home price rose significantly this month. However, moderate prices and favorable interest rates makes good opportunities for buyers too.
