Canton, CT Inventory Unusually low…Is it a good time to sell?

If you are a home owner in Canton waiting to sell your home when the flowers are in bloom and the grass is green this spring, you may want to consider listing your home sooner. As of today, February 20, 2009 there are only 61 homes on the market. We typically have approximately 90 homes on the market at this time. Less supply creates a greater demand for your home hopefully reducing time on the market and increasing your sales price. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss what may be best for you. What happened this week in Canton? Two homes came on the market and three properties closed; one lot and two homes.

How do you like that? With all the dismal Real Estate news, I’m pleased to inform you that the town of Canton in December 2007 had a 20.6 month supply of inventory and as of December 2008 Canton has a 10.7 month supply of single family homes, condominiums, and planned unit developments. That is a 9.9% reduction.

If you or anyone you know is looking to purchase or sell a home anywhere in the country, I would greatly appreciate you passing my name and contact information along. If I do not service the area personally I will make sure the person you refer to me is in excellent hands with an exceptional Realtor.

What other Canton or Real Estate information are you interested in learning about? I plan on keeping you informed monthly regarding inventory and median price sold in Canton.
