REAL ESTATE TRENDS
BallenIsles Sales

Inventory while still quite low has crept up slightly to 11 homes currently on the market. We expect this number to rise as more owners return from summer holidays and reassess their real estate needs. The strong Sellers market has shifted downward ever so slightly probably due to the continued uncertainty in the financial markets and a rise in interest rates. One thing is clear, Buyers are willing to pay top dollar for a move-in-ready home and they are more likely to ignore those homes that are outdated or in need of repairs, unless they can score a significant deal.
Call Us. It is certainly a good time to reassess your needs and perhaps make a move.
