“We continue to see more and more people getting into the housing market, whether they are buying or selling, and with homes at affordable prices all around the city and surrounding areas, there really is something for everyone in this market,” said Bob Jacobs, SABOR’s 2016 Chairman of the Board. “In fact, while the majority of homes sold are still below $200,000, we have seen a gradual shift in more homes being sold in the range between $200,000 and $500,000.”
Good News for Sellers
Sellers had an amazing month with increased home values and decreased days on the market. Average days on the market was only 60 days compared to last year’s 70 days. Not bad for the off season!
