Wrap-up

Low inventories and some very positive news on the employment front – unemployment applications hit a four-year low with figures not seen since the start of the 2007-2009 recession, strong stock market performance continued to buoy home buyer confidence, despite a marginal rise in interest rates. Open houses are being well attended. Many properties priced under $1m are selling very quickly, some with multiple offers. The foreclosure inventory remains a mixed bag with no definite trends emerging. Overall the outlook is a positive one.

Five homes went under contract in March - all of them were on the market for less than one month. All but one of these homes were priced under $2 million. Two of the nine pending homes are short sales. Well priced homes that show well are the ones that are selling quickly.
