While interest rates are still at historic lows and the market is strong, it is a good time to sell a home. Most people predict 2015 will be a solid year for sales, before we are in the 2016 election cycle, when the market is often slower due to all the negative campaigning and focus on the still slow economy. Some experts also predict a stock market correction sometime this year, which typically causes a decline in the real estate market.

We used MLS data for this report. New home construction that sells prior to being put in the MLS is not considered a market sale for appraisal purposes since it wasn’t available to a wider pool of buyers. Those new home pre-sales typically are only used as comparable sales in appraisals for other similar new home pre-sales. Therefore, we did not include those in our report. Hope this helps explain the data better.
