JUST LOOK

Just look at these numbers! We have not seen numbers like this in well over 10 years. The unit sales are up and as we approach the end of the year I believe everything will be up over last year and actually over any other year in the last 10. Granted we are wrapping up the busiest season and some economic signs are very positive these days (do you own some of the big tech stocks?)

Go anywhere in the “pages” section of this blog, where the reports you may want to look at are available on the left margin. Compare the last 12 months with any other recent period and be prepared to let out a cheer. I feel as if the wicked witch is dead.

Things are good enough that we are getting into dangerous territory in the lowest price ranges. The length of time on the market for a home under $300K is well below 6 months, meaning sellers are getting away with selling quickly without as much caution on the buyers side. Many other price ranges are healthy and certain neighborhoods are thriving, but why not? It is about damn time, right?

Enjoy the reports and get ready for a rocking and rolling 2018!!

Thanks
