Market Dynamics

Dramatic lack of supply has led to days on market in saratoga county dropping by approx. 30% in just one year!! The average price in Saratoga county is almost topping 300k which I haven’t seen in my 12 years!  While all this is certainly great news I’d expect a rebalancing in the coming months as new inventory starts to hit for summer and interest rates steadily rise. With more supply buyers shouldn’t have to make offers on 4 houses before they finally lock one up and this will help to stabilize things as we move from a spring to summer market.
