“ASK LAURA ABOUT REAL ESTATE”<br />
Happy New Year!<br />
Our real estate market is not following the “usual” cycle<br />
this season! It looks like we are in for a strong 2024 market,<br />
with appreciating prices. This is GOOD NEWS!<br />

What’s happening? The steep drop off in new listings that<br />
usually occurs this time of year hasn’t happened. The<br />
number of new listings is actually stabilizing (rather than<br />
decreasing). And, there are even more new property<br />
listings coming to the market compared to the same time<br />
last year.<br />
What does this mean for you? If you are thinking of Buying,<br />
new listings stabilizing is a positive sign. It means you have<br />
a more steady stream of options coming onto the market<br />
and more choices for your next home than you would<br />
have at the same time last year. This opens up<br />
possibilities and allows you to explore a variety of homes<br />
that suit your needs.<br />
If you are thinking of Selling, even though new listings are<br />
breaking seasonal norms, inventory is still well below<br />
where it was before the pandemic. Inventory isn’t going up<br />
dramatically and prices aren’t heading for a crash! And<br />
with less competition from other homesellers than you<br />
would see in a more typical year, your home has a better<br />
chance to be in the spotlight and attract eager buyers.<br />
