Quick Scotts Valley Real Estate Tidbits – March 24, 2014
Inventory Up
GOOD NEWS FOR HOME BUYERS – Last month, there were a total of 15 new listings in Scotts Valley, this month there are already 17 new homes for sale and we still have one more week to go.
That is an increase so far of 25% in inventory which is good news for home buyers. I expect this trend to continue and next month we will probably see even more homes come up on the market, easing a little bit the tightness that exists.
Rates Tick Up Slightly
Bankrate reports that interest rates are up slightly this week by .11% for a 30 year fixed rate as they average 4.39% vs. 4.28%. Rates have been hovering in the mid 4% range and are expected to stay at around 4.375-4.75% this year according to many economists.
