You’d think the real estate market would have been slow and quiet last week due to the holidays, but nope, it was rather busy. Just 4 houses came onto the market, but 16 went pending (yep, people out looking at houses and not rushing home to carve the turkey), and 10 houses became closed sales.
I don’t recall a Christmas with this many pending sales. I too had an active buyer last week. With inventory a bit down right now, there are just not a lot of houses to choose from. We encountered 3 different houses they were interested in last week and all 3 had multiple offers. We were able to put a deal together on the one that was their top choice, but it really surprised me that the week of Christmas was that competitive. It makes me feel that perhaps our spring market will start early.
