Increased Home Values! More Buyers Than Homes For Sale! But Fewer New Listings Than This Time Last Year???
Good Monday Morning!
The Real Estate market in Lane County continues to be below 2019 levels in numbers of new homes coming on the market and in home sales. The one area that our local market continues to see increase is in home values. With 2 months inventory of homes for sale, there are a few more homes for sale than last year, but at the price range of $400,000 and below, the inventory is low and homes sales are extremely active. In the price range of $300,000 and lower the inventory is extremely low and this part of the market is as hot as I have ever seen. There are far more buyers than there are homes for sale in this price range. The following statistics will show you how May of 2020 compared to the market we saw in May of 2019.

New listings (485) decreased 30.2% from the 695 listed in May 2019, and increased 18.0% from the 411 listed in April 2020.
