Wrap Up:

Sellers: As we enter the heat of the summer and both buyers and sellers alike retreat to the distractions of summer vacations, it is common to see a decline in both new listings and sales. June was no exception to this rule. However, as a seller on the market, this doesn’t mean a summertime sale is an impossible dream, as sales tend to rise in July and August.  Further, if you are considering listing your home, the mid to late summer is still an opportune time to enter the market. Talk to your agent today for an evaluation!

Buyers: As the market settles into the slower pace of mid-summer, now is an ideal time to make an offer on a home you’ve had your eye on! If you’re in the beginning stages of the home buying purchase, now is the time to find an agent who understands your needs! Reach out to the Salt Fowler Team now to get on our client list and hear about new homes as soon as they come on the market!
