What Is Your Home Worth Now?

Summary

Closed transactions are down a bit from last year mainly do to lack of homes for sale during the first part of 2022.   New listings are outpacing everything else on the MLS (Pending Sales, Closed Transactions, etc) as sellers are trying to take advantage of what appears to be a changing market.  The market is starting to change as mortgage rates are well into the 5% range and inflation is at record highs.   The Fed recently raised the Fed Funds Rate .75 trying to combat the runaway inflation so borrowing costs may keep going up throughout the year.  Gas prices in the Blaine area seem to be hovering around 4.79 at most gas stations.  

What does all of this mean?  Homes that are priced right and in pretty good shape are still selling fast and in many cases in multiple offers.  If you are thinking of making a move please contact me to find out if now is a good time.
