Wrap Up:
September can be a busy month for many. With school starting and seasons in transition, often the real estate market can fall behind. This past month was no exception. Despite producing a healthy increase in new listings, September showed a drop in sales by close to -18%. We are trending towards a buyer's market with longer Days to Sell numbers and decreased sales, but this could still be a seasonal change. Importantly, if your home has been on the market now may be the time to have a discussion with your agent about the best way to get buyers to zero in. Whether that means a price adjustment or advertising strategy, now is the time to talk game plan with a pro listing agent today.
