May YTD Local Market Real Estate Stats

 As Jay & I move about town, we're often stopped by people looking for some good news on the real estate market. Well, we have some and hope you'll find this update of interest. For details specific to your home, feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email. We're here to help.




May YTD 2013

The number of homes on the market in Durham is down 25% from this time last year
while the number of homes sold is up 15%

There are more buyers than there are good homes for sale and this makes it a really good time for a potential home seller to put their home on the market.Interest rates are at 4% but are going up. This makes it an especially good time for home buyers to lock in at this still advantageous interest rate and move forward to buy a new home.
