June saw a total of 7,991 condominiums and single family homes sell throughout the multiple listing service. Comparing the number of sales last year for June 2017, this is down 5.2% for single-family homes, and down 3.8% for condos.

Housing markets across the nation are most assuredly active this summer, and buyer competition is manifesting itself into several quick sales above asking price. While the strength of the U.S. economy has helped purchase offers pile up, the Fed recently increased the federal funds rate by 0.25 percent, marking the second rate hike this year and seventh since late 2015. Although the 30-year mortgage rate did not increase, buyers often react by locking in at the current rate ahead of assumed higher rates later. When this happens, accelerated price increases are possible, causing further strain on affordability

With the slow down in sales, it’s more important to make sure you meet with your real estate agent to discuss negotiation strategies.
