BASED ON CURRENT INVENTORY and CLOSED SALES IN PINECREST, WE ARE IN LIMBO. WE ARE NOT IN A BUYER’S MARKET … NOR ARE WE IN A SELLER’S MARKET )… We in what’s called a “NEUTRAL REAL ESTATE MARKET” … meaning that we now have between 3-6 months of available inventory for sale:
Less than 3 months of inventory would put us in a seller’s market.
More than 6 months of inventory would move us into a buyer’s market.
And having 3-6 months of inventory places us in a neutral market.

If you are considering selling, this might be a good time. Broker’s and agents contact us regularly, checking to see whether we have properties coming up for sale which might appeal to buyers they are working with. Qualified buyers are having difficulty… and struggling to find the right house … and that continues to be a growing issue as inventory drops.
Mortgage rates are still well below 5% … affording buyers plenty of buying power. And with this being a neutral market, there is opportunity to buy, sell and invest well… and we would be pleased to help you do that.
