The good news for sellers is that these homes sold for 92.3 percent of the asking price, and the good news for the home buyers was these homes were priced slightly lower this year than last year’s homes.

January has shown an increase in activity and we expect it to keep up since more buyers are concerned that interest rates may be rising soon.
