Inventory is Shrinking

Inventory is going away faster than your hopes of watching a Kansas City Chiefs game without Taylor Swift being shown. 

 



Contracts Are Flying!

The lower interest rates in the middle of December created a mini buying frenzy during a time of year that usually has very low real estate activity. New contracts are up almost 30 percent over the last 2 months and listings just can’t keep up.

 

What it means for you!
