The real estate market remains busy, sales slowing a bit because of a lack of inventory. All counties but one (Washington) saw new listing numbers decrease compared to last year at this time and Washington County just barely.
“Days on Market” is also down dramatically. This is an excellent time to put your home on the market. Well-priced homes are getting snatched up quickly. You do, however, still need an agent. Getting a buyer is JUST the tip of the iceberg when it comes to selling a home.
