Real Estate Update – You may have heard or read that the market is slowing down in general – while I would say that is somewhat the case for properties over $500k in the local market, it’s still very competitive for properties under $500k, with multiple offers still the norm. We are definitely seeing a shift, though many properties are still selling considerably over the list price and there do seem to be many buyers looking for homes with a comparatively low number of listings on the market. This market is being described as “dynamic” and very “area specific” – if you’d like to have a chat about what that means or would like help navigating the real estate road ahead, please get in touch. I’d be happy to help.
