I want to keep you updated on some changes in the real estate market — some of which will impact the options when deciding whether to sell your house or refinance. The following are national trends. Below that are local metrics I’ve put together so you can gauge the climate of our local market.
Local Trend in Prices:
Currently, our market is seeing an Upward trend.

Pricing Note: House values can fluctuate through the seasons. Spring is a different market than the Fall; mid-Summer looks much different from the end of the year. So in order to get an accurate reading as to whether or not prices have fallen or risen, we use the “year over year” barometer.
Local Days on Market:

Days on Market (“DOM”) Note: This metric will tell us how long it takes for homes to sell. This number is largely driven by supply and demand. An uptick in interest rates can cause DOM to increase; a drop in unemployment can cause DOM to decrease. All sorts of economic factors can affect this number, and ultimately, DOM affects pricing. When there are low days on market, prices go up; when DOM increase, prices go down.
Market conditions are constantly fluctuating. If you would like a market analysis, I’m happy to provide you with current figures anytime on a complimentary basis. Feel free to give me a call directly at 414-335-8035 or email me at this address.
