Whereas the overall statistics show that we have moved into a sellers market, with approximately 4 months of inventory, it is also important to note that average sales prices are down and the average discount taken has increased.
Of course, conditions differ within sub-markets; each price range and neighborhood differs. For example, in Davidsonville, a high-end area, the market has shifted even more dramatically; the number of homes sold year to date in 2015 was up 26.32% compared to the previous year, yet the average sold price was down 7.36%.
Now, more than ever, it’s important for home sellers to pay attention the market activity, and employ smart strategy and top talent, in order to make the best sale.
