We will guide you through the process and work with your real estate attorney on any issues that might come up with the home inspection and attorney review.

The type of financing you use became a big deal in 2021.  There were so many multiple offer situations seller’s had a choice of which offer to accept, and of course, cash always came first.  Not everyone has cash to purchase so Conventional was their next choice.  It was hard for buyer’s to understand this at first.  We would tell them to also get pre approved for Conventional when they would show us that they were pre approved for FHA.

58 single family homes closed that were 2,000 square feet or more this week at a median price of $422,495, last week 98 closed at median price of $426,000.  The minimum price that closed this week was $152,000, last week it was $85,000.

Inventory of homes for sale decreased all 3 years.  Closed homes went up all 3 years and so did prices because of the decrease in inventory.  This give you a good look at why prices are rising.  There are not enough homes built to satisfy the demand.  This is not just locally.  It is nation wide.  More homes need to be built or commercial property that is vacant needs to be modified to accommodate housing needs.
