According to RBI, LLC., the dollar value of homes sold in September 2013 increased almost $4 million from September 2012, representing a 56% increase from a year ago. This reflects the fact that there was a corresponding increase of 37% in the number of homes sold as well, with a slight increase of 13% in the average price sold compared to September 2012.
In comparing the real estate trends from August to September of this year, September showed a decline in Dollar Volume sold, but an increase in the average and median price sold indicating people are willing and able to better meet the listing prices, with a 93% ratio of sales price to original listing price.
The market still favors homes that are under the $300,000 price point as 75% of the homes sold were under this price. Despite the fact that school has started and often people are reluctant to move; however, with declining interest rates rapidly heading below 4% APR combined with lower inventories and rising home prices it is a great time to consider buying or selling.
