The number of new listings on the market is up slightly over this time last year. Interest rates continue to be low, but are starting to creep up ever so slightly. The combination of these make it a great time to buy and a great time to sell, as it costs less to buy and there is limited inventory on the market. If you aren't interested in buying or selling, now would be the time to consider refinancing.
Here are some quick statistics for Osceola, Polk, and Orange counties.Â
This is comparing September 2019 to September 2020. The number of houses sold did increase 13% from the prior year. The average price of a house increased by 17%. The average days on the market for sold listings is almost a week less than this time last year. Houses sold in September 2020 on average sold for 10% less than list price. It is still super important to list a house for a fair market value and not over price it! The number of new listings increased in 2020 compared to 2019, and is steady with the past few months. As we mentioned, this is still a seller's market with around one month of inventory available. But it is still a great time to buy a house, as interest rates are still very low. Â
