How did our market do in December 2016? What can we expect moving forward in January 2017? Let’s start by reviewing some numbers from last month and how they compare to December 2015.

We had 6,397 homes comes on the market for sale, which was a slight increase from the 6,133 homes that came on the market in December 2015.
We had 23,257 active listings versus 23,403 active listings in December 2015.
There were 7,192 homes sold versus 6,718 sold in December 2015, which is great because that means the number of buyers increased by more than 400.
We had a 3.23-month supply of inventory versus a 3.48-month supply of inventory in December 2015.

These statistics mean especially good news for sellers. Not only is there a low amount of inventory, but interest rates have also risen. How is that good news? It means more buyers are buying homes right now because they want to lock in a low rate before they rise even further. This is creating more demand in the market.

Our market is in great condition moving forward.

For the time being, our market is in great condition and 2017 is looking very optimistic.

If you or anybody you know is thinking of buying or selling a home, please feel free to give me a call. I look forward to talking with you soon!

Mike - "Jason furnishes a lot of statistics which real help, I’ve never gotten those kinds of numbers from anyone else and I really appreciated that."

Sue - "The Penrose Team did a good job for me. I got a lot of money for the first house they sold for me. It was much more than all the other Realtors had said I could get for it, which we were very happy about. They just advertise better and have a wide advertising area. They are good team and would do a good job for you, hire them!"

Tracy - "Jason really follows through with his work. He brought me the results I needed and he was definitely a go-getter. He gets the job done faster because of his sales ability and marketing strategy. I would highly recommend working with him!"

Brad - "Jason’s method of doing business is incredibly efficient. He follows through on what he says he’s going to do and he always kept in touch. Jason is good at what he does and you’ll be happy working with him."

Brenda - "The Penrose Team was just always there for us and kept us up to date with the whole process. We weren’t actually the ones that purchased the home, my in-laws did but they included us in everything which was awesome. They were just absolutely wonderful and if we ever needed anything, they were there to answer."

Amanda - "We had very positive results when we worked with the Penrose team especially when it came to the negotiations for the contract. We had some things to go over about the roof and Christin really took that at hand and worked with the sellers to make sure that we were getting the best possible outcome. They really took care of us!"

Bill - "They were able to sell our home in pretty difficult circumstances. We had some terrible construction in front of our house, there were a lot of pigeons and their droppings, and the HOA wasn’t keeping up the property as well as they should have. When people were complaining about the droppings, they dispatched someone out to the house to tidy it up and they just kept going until they found a buyer for us. The whole experience was just great all the way around."

John - "They are absolutely phenomenal. I have nothing but positive things to say about the service I received. Nicole, Christin, and Jason were just really exceptional to work with and they all went above and beyond to help us."

Keith - "They always kept me abreast of everything that was transpiring with the transaction, especially once the contract came about. They did a very nice job of representing my position to the seller’s agent."

Brittany - "I was not kept in the loop with my previous real estate transaction so I really appreciated Jason touching base with me when anything changed and making weekly calls to ensure I was kept up to date. My house sold quickly and it was just a really good experience."

Linda -"We had a previous real estate person who had the house for five months. There were no offers or anything. Jason and his team came in, took pictures, put it up on the MLS, and sold the house within a week for the full asking price. The girls in the office were very helpful. The buyer had neglected to mention that he was married, so they had to overnight a form for his wife to sign. They kept me updated throughout, and they were right on top of it the whole time!"

Cathi -"I want to thank Jason and his team for getting us through this transaction and selling our house! The last several months have been crazy, and we finally got the deal done. It would not have happened without Jason and his entire team, particularly Nicole. She has been my partner every step of the way. She's awesome. She was right on top of things and put up with my constant questions, which we really appreciated. At times it didn't feel like this transaction would be successful, and thanks to them it was!"
