The bloated inventory decreased in size for the second consecutive week, and with any hopes, will continue the trend in to the fall (no pun intended). Not a whole lot of activity to report this week, sales are still down, days on market are getting longer and the "buying season" is long gone. Still, bursts of activity are happing in spans of days. Everyone talks about it like it's some sort of phenomena, the phone will be quiet for days and BAM! inquiries and showings for a week then nothing again. Buyers are reluctant to commit and it's beginning to cause sellers to loose the "selling confidence". One thing for sure is that my peers are feeling the same pressure as I am when it comes to selling clients listings. It's a challenging place to sell to say the least, but even more difficult when you sit on a product that is overpriced and expect buyers to just accept that fact. The kool-aid is not being swallowed by buyers and it will take the competitiveness, or motivation of sellers to get the job done. According to this weeks stats, and the way you interpret them, 34% of sellers who listed this week will sell their home... Make sure to come back tomorrow for the August monthly wrap up! The feature aDOGtable this week is Max. Max is a happy pup, and great with kids, as he grew up with them since he was a pup. We’re not sure of his status with cats. He is good with other dogs, loves to snuggle and get belly rubs, and loves to play. Max is neutered, vaccinated and housebroken and does well in the house when you’re not there.
