Wrap Up:

Sellers: 

Here is the good news Sellers, this is still your market! With very low inventory and a continually healthy number of prospective buyers still looking, you are still in a position of advantage when selling your property. However, in direct comparison to October 2020 numbers, this year is setting itself up to be a bit more average. But let us not forget that last year's stats were unprecedented, and by comparison it is easy to fall short. All in all, we are still looking at a very strong market as we look towards the end of this year. Further, with low interest rates, this is your chance to capitalize on a quick sale with a price likely above what you may have anticipated.
