This week’s closed sale:

$589,950  Rambler style home in Cameret/Little Tree with a list price of $599,950, on the market for 12 days sold 2% under full price.  This home is 2500 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

Inventory in the area just went to more than 81 homes.  The largest concentration of available homes falls in the $500-750,000 price range, as it includes almost half of the homes currently for sale.  The inventory is almost double what was available in April. 

I see home sales every week (I’ve been involved in four multiple offer situations in the last 7 weeks!) and believe buyers are out looking for homes. But as I say each week, the best priced home in the best condition wins the buyer.  Homes in this market will sell if they are an attractive home and a value.
