I was showing a house the other day and it was bought in April of 2011 for 198k and is now on the market, under contract, with a list price of 214k. Until it’s sold, we won’t know the exact amount it was sold for, but let’s just assume it’s at 214k. This home is NOT a short sale or distressed, because the owners paid cash. (Of course we don’t know what is going on in their life to sell it so quick) Just think, in our current market, they will end up making 16k. We haven’t seen that happen as often in the past 4 or 5 years. Not only did our inventory decrease by a little more than 1800 homes, but we also see that there were 106 more homes sold in January 2012 vs January 2011! Based on inventory levels, we are still in a buyers market, but we are slowly creeping into a stable market.
