Homes below 1600 square feet are HOT!

 Homes between 1800 and 1999

and 2200 and 2599 square feet

are also selling very well.

 

Inventory levels

(as expressed as Months of Remaining Inventory)

at mid-range and below are at seller-market levels.

 

But there seems to be a momentary glut of homes between 1600-1799.

 

Homes over 2600 square feet continue to have

a buyer-market  inventory level.

 

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 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.
