Get inspired by a market rally, Michiana! Sparked by improved mortgage rates of nearly half a percentage point, March sales were up 30% month over month, and 7% over 2024. That 0.05% rate improvement can mean an average of $75/month off the buyer’s monthly mortgage payment.
Other rally markers include 11% more new listings than the same time in 2024, for an average inventory count 21% better than last year. Home price growth was 4% improved both month over month and year over year, with sellers averaging almost 96% of list price. And finally, the average days on market is currently holding steady right at two weeks.
Our RED ACADEMY (for Real Estate Dreams) held the first of four First Time Home BUYER Workshops last night. We’ll post the recording on our website, for anyone you know who could use some counsel on FINANCIAL READINESS. Join us in June, August, and October, for “What do you want in a House?”, “Submitting an Offer”, and “Pending to Closing”.
Reply to this email with questions YOU have about buying, selling, or a career in real estate, because at Inspired, it’s all about YOU!
