IT'S TIME TO WELCOME SPRING!
Spring is finally here and the housing marketing is receiving some much needed warmth. With winter's deep freeze at an end, and prices rising, more sellers are likely to jump into the market in the coming weeks.

Essentially, the message has been the same as it has been for months. Now is the opportune time for sellers to put their home on the market. According to NAR, total housing inventory at the end of February rose to a 5.2-month supply. Be aware that the market is considered balanced with a six month supply of inventory. As more home sellers enter the market, there will be more competition and homes are likely to take longer to sell.
While home sales were somewhat flat in February when compared to January, it wasn't homebuyers who were holding things up. A tough winter certainly caused delays with open houses, showings and closings. Regardless, buyers were still anxious to take advantage of low interest rates and beat their competition before the upsurge of activity that is the spring market. What was the result of that buyer activity? Prices continued to rise across the nation jumping 9.1 percent in February when compared to February of last year.
