The type of financing you use became a big deal in 2021.  There were so many multiple offer situations seller’s had a choice of which offer to accept, and of course, cash always came first.  Not everyone has cash to purchase so Conventional was their next choice.  It was hard for buyer’s to understand this at first.  We would tell them to also get pre approved for Conventional when they would show us that they were pre approved for FHA.

58 single family homes closed that were 2,000 square feet or more this week at a median price of $422,495, last week 98 closed at median price of $426,000.  The minimum price that closed this week was $152,000, last week it was $85,000.
