Good morning Ed. Sounds like listing agents set the prices right the first time a round and selling agents are educating the buyers to be serious with their first offer. May you be getting your share. Enjoy your day.

Good morning, Ed... less than one month of inventory is like no inventory at all. Yikes!

Ed, sure looks like Waterbury is doing well, with pending and hard deposit both being more than the active listings.

Wayne Martin   The stability of the market is still to a seller's advantage and their agents need to set the price right as a property that sits on market longer than 2 weeks gets a stigma.

 

Brian England   That zip code has the highest values and is one of the more popular areas of town.

Nina Hollander, Broker   The entire area sits with that type if inventory. Whatever sits on market is just overpriced.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX   Buyers get frustrated very quickly.

Joan Cox   It is a very lively market.

Ed that is a hefty increase in the average sales price over last year.

Hi Ed- I agree with you about setting the right price. Sellers can get a little ahead of themselves but you're right...properties that sit on the market for long will have buyers wondering why.
