Thorne Home Team - April/May Market Snapshot!




We are seeing a vital Spring market with lots of new inventory and an increasing median sales price. On average, homes are selling for over the asking price, a 102.1% sales price/list price ratio in May, indicating buyer competition in the market. 

At Thorne Home Team, we have experienced some multiple offer situations in the past couple of months, but also some price reductions as well. Interest rates continue to limit purchasing power for buyers and creates a "pickier" environment with higher monthly mortgage payments. And the usual message applies for sellers - make sure to do the up-front market prep and staging for your home and you'll have your best shot at receiving multiple offers. Vacant and staged homes will get the most foot traffic. Reach out with questions! We are happy to help!

These are the most common questions we get when sellers find themselves in this situation. Of course, every home is a little different and we recommend meeting with an experienced Realtor® to get specific advice tailored to your property. But as a general rule of thumb, properties sell faster and for more money when buyers can imagine themselves living there.  Imagine you're a buyer and you walk into a home with a stained carpet, bright colors on the walls, and a grimy kitchen and bathrooms. You probably wouldn't walk away thinking...I'd love to live in that house and offer my entire life savings to have it! So as the seller, without breaking the bank, focus on the areas that would tran...
