What this means for buyers
- With days on market still relatively low and prices creeping upward, competition remains meaningful.
- Inventory remains modest so buyers need to act decisively when they find a good property.
- For buyers, securing a strong financing pre-approval, choosing a trusted local agent, and being ready to move quickly will help.
- Also consider neighborhood-specific trends: waterfront vs inland, school district, commuting access, condition of home (with fewer “bargains” in this market).
What this means for sellers
- Sellers are still in a favorable environment: median prices are rising, and homes are moving relatively quickly.
- But rising values also mean buyers may have higher expectations; homes presented well, priced right, and staged properly will stand out.
- Work with your real-estate professional to analyze recent comparable sales in your specific township or ZIP code, as county-wide figures are helpful but not definitive.
- Since buyers often start with online tools like Zillow, make sure your home’s online presence is strong (great photos, accurate description, virtual tour if possible).
Important caveats
- County-wide data are helpful for the big picture, but the local neighborhood, street, house type (single-family vs condo), and condition matter a great deal.
- Zillow and other automated tools provide useful snapshots but may not reflect micro-market conditions, recent renovations, or unique attributes of a home.
- Always consult a local real-estate professional for the most accurate advice.
