In April, 18 homes entered the market. Only 3 of those listings are still available. The other 15 are either under contract or sold. Again, the speed at which this market is moving is extraordinary.
Home Prices
Along with the rate of home sales, prices are moving up as well in Timbergrove. In the 12 month period ending in April, prices are up 4.41% to $327076. A quick review of our previous market updates will show that this rate of growth is accelerating. We have been predicting for months that tight inventory levels and high demand could eventually lead to higher prices. Higher prices are here. If inventory levels continue to remain tight, prices may continue to go up. Quick sales and higher prices are certainly working into seller’s favor.
