Bottom Line
Low inventory continues for single family homes and property values are at one of their highest points in a three-year history. While it’s easy to want to assume that winter might show some slowing sales, the zip code as a whole has an ebb and flow that isn’t strictly seasonal, making the advice of a realtor indispensable in this situation.
