Homes below 2000 square feet are selling well!

 Homes between 2000 and 2199 have a momentary surplus of available inventory.

 

The inventory just below 2000 is approaching

a balanced market.

 

Homes below 1200 square feet show an inventory level that indicates a seller market.  What is switch that will be if it holds up through the winter!

are also selling very well.

 

 

 

As elsewhere, the $8000 fully refundable federal tax credit

(for buyers who have not owned a personal residence

in the last three years)

is driving the sale of smaller homes. 

It has been extended through April 30.

 

And effective right now, the new fully refundable

$6500 federal tax credit

(for those buyers who've lived in their personal residence for at least 5 of the last 8 years)

will be driving mid-range sales.

 

 The new tax credit will only be in play for 5 1/2 months and has income limitations.  That means it may have

little impact

on the number of sales or prices of homes at the high end. 

But the impact in Bethel-Danebo should be significant!
