Here’s a look at where the real estate market is now and where it’s headed.
It’s the start of July and I have the latest numbers for the Desert real estate market. The question I hear all the time, whether I’m on a listing appointment or at a cocktail property is, “What’s happening, and where do you think we’re going?”
Myself and other savvy Realtors have numbers like the ones I’m going to share today that will help you understand what we understand. I get mine through the Tom Ferry organization and the Keeping Current Matters organization. They provide me with all the latest, most accurate numbers. I’ll go through those numbers in an order that will help you get up to speed with where the market is now and where it’s headed in the future.
