How’s The Market? – May, 2018

img1

Dear Friends,

Later blooms on the trees and rising interest rates have attenuated the Spring market a bit this year, despite lower housing inventory across the country, and across Fairfield County. Many standoffs have been reported in price negotiations and post-inspection issues. Perhaps this is due in part to buyers’ widespread frustration with decreased purchasing power after recent rate hikes, and their consequent reduction in available cash for future home repairs and improvements.

See below for the latest data, and a sneak peak at my fantastic new listing.

Best, Joni
