April 2025

HEADS UP we've got a major turn of events to report this month. In April we had 43 new listings for single family homes and duets come on market. That is more than DOUBLE the inventory we saw from the prior month in March which only brought 21 new listings to market. This is significant because the year over year numbers are sliding down as well as the month over month numbers in terms of sale price and volume. More inventory will spread out the number of buyers since interest rates are expected to remain near current levels. Why are so many homeowners selling their house at this time? They have been waiting a long time to sell already or they are pessimistic about the near future and feel it's time to get out. The good news is that inflation and job news is encouraging while stock futures inch lower after the S&P 500 notches its best winning streak in 20 years.

On the other hand, some economists are recommending people should save their cash for the next crash. In volatile times such as these you need an advisor you can trust.
