Real Estate Market Trends

If you're like a lot of other consumers, trite slogans and marketing come- ons aren't convincing. Especially when it comes to the most expensive investment you may ever make; numbers are far pithier.


Think about it -- which of these is of more value to you: “Now is the best time to buy or sell a house!” or “Real Estate Market Report for Yourtown, Yourstate?”


Not only is this section of ActiveRain chock full of up-to-date real estate market reports but market statistics and market trends as well. Best of all, they're written in plain English by the experts – those that actually work in these markets on a daily basis.

What Sold in Your North Shore Village in February? Homes that closed in February were unusually low across all villages. That will begin to change as the inventory increases and homes sell quickly. The spring market has started - not only by the calendar but by the warm weather.Every single village had a slight increase in the median sale price over the past 12 months. And every village had an even slighter increase in inventory. The months-supply-of-inventory has stayed virtually the same.  WINNETKAClick here to see all Winnetka homes sold in February 2024All homes for sale:  25Current month's supply of inventory:  1.7Past 12 months median price: $1,620,000See Winnetka homes for saleSee Winnetka condos for saleSee Winnetka townhouses for sale WILMETTEClick here to see all Wilmette home...

It was intriguing to find that there was only 1 home for sale in Portlock and it was listed for $8,500,000, which sounds a little bit shocking. However, it shouldn't be too surprising as that market has been heating up in Portlock. There's been 2 sales over the past 6 months that are north of $8 million. There was a also a couple trades on the lower end in the $2-3 million range, but those ($8 million ones) were beautiful homes on the water.... Read More

High Mortgage Rates - High Prices Affecting Bend Home SalesFor the 4th week in a row, the thirty year mortgage interest rate has risen which has impacted real estate sales across the country. With these rates now pushing 7%, the buying power of Bend homebuyers has diminished.With this change, few sellers are putting their homes of the market. Why sell a home with a great interest rate when the replacement home will cost so much more to finance? Both Bend home buyers and Bend home sellers are making decisions based on the cost to finance and when mortgage rates rise, often the decision made is to do nothing.Bend Real Estate Inventory Levels Remain LowAlthough there is always a downward seasonal adjustment for Bend home sales in the winter, the number of homes for sale and pending sales i...
