Howell Real Estate Update February 8, 2016

Near Downtown Howell

The active Howell inventory is 239 units (detached homes and condominiums).

In the last 7 days there were 17 new listings and 11 sold.  For the sold properties, the average price per square foot was $114, a typical number for Howell.  These homes were on the market for just 62 days from date of listing to date of closing, not very long when you consider the average closing takes 30-45 days.  The average sales price was $181,195.

Sellers - DON'T WAIT FOR SPRING UNLESS IT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.  Right now with the lower inventory your home will get noticed faster and at this time of year the buyers tend to be serious, not tire-kicking.  If you're thinking about selling, please interview me so I can tell you about my 'Buyer's Edge' program.  Just curious about your home's value?  Contact me anonymously and obligation free at http://goo.gl/LiQjYb.

Buyers - Work with a full-time real estate pro to get into these homes as quickly as you can or they may be under contract, especially in the $225,000 and under price ranges.  I offer a buyer's workshop that is great for first-time buyers, but is also useful as a refresher for folks that have purchased a home in the past.  Rules and regulations are changing even though you may not see it.  It's best to be prepared and not leave things to chance.  Want to get the newest listings immediately?  Contact me and let's chat for a few moments so I can set you up with a great search that will email you once a day, once a week, or every time a new listing hits the market that matches your search needs.
