While selling price averages took a dip the past two weeks to 92% and 90% of list price, it was once again at 96% of list for this past week, which is on par for the beginning of this year.
The market continues to be active right now with historically low mortgage rates and value pricing with most listings; historically, the fall becomes very active with sellers eager to sell before winter and buyers looking to get into a home before the snow falls.
