April was another strong month for home sales. The busy spring market continues to see many multiple offer situations driving sales prices above the asking price. With such strong activity, by the time a property sale closes, the market may have already moved higher than that sold price suggests. Such markets can create stress and frustration for prospective homebuyers, who are frequently having to submit offers on multiple properties before they are able to secure a purchase.

Median Sales Price increased 28.2 percent to $325,000 for Single Family and 20.3 percent to $204,500 for Townhouse/Condo. Days on Market decreased 51.6 percent for Single Family and 45.5 percent for Townhouse/Condo. Months Supply of Inventory decreased 68.4 percent for Single Family and 66.7 percent for Townhouse/Condo.
In the spirit of the great Wayne Gretzky, buyers, sellers, and their agents are all trying their best to skate to where the puck, or rather, the housing market, is going, not where it has been. While housing affordability remains an area to watch as prices continue to rise, strong buyer demand and limited housing supply show no signs of easing soon, pointing to a continuation of this market trend through spring and into summer.
These numbers can be positive or negative depending on which side of the fence you are on… Buyer or Seller?
