As shown above, home sales increased dramatically in February 2013 to 66 sales for the month. This marks a 43% increase over February 2012, and is the highest month of February home sales in several years.
As shown above, there are plenty of positive indicators in this month's market report....
- February home sales increased 43%.
- YTD home sales have increased 33% in 2013.
- YTD median prices have increased 2.5% in 2013.
- YTD median days on market has declined 5% in 2013.
This surge in home sales is not over yet --- with a 16% increase in February contracts (shown above) we are likely to continue to see increase in home sales in the coming months. ALSO -- buyers are in the market NOW -- if you want to sell your house this spring or summer, we need to start talking soon.
