Well, we have officially hit the beginning of the Spring Market. In fact, I think we have been in it for a bit. (Yay, weak winters!!!) For myself, I currently have every single listing I have put up in 2023 sold or under contract. Do you know anyone that is thinking about selling? I have buyers that are just sitting and waiting for the right one to come along.
And it is not just me. 2023 is already doing better than 2022. New listings for Feb. 2022 were at 565. New Listings for Feb. 2023 were 597. What were they saying about interest rates screwing everything up again? At the end of February 2022 we had sold just over 2,000 houses in the Des Moines Multiple Listing Service (MLS). So far in 2023, we are at 3,214 sold.
If you are looking to buy or sell, I would love to talk to you. The Des Moines market is still very strong. I will completely admit that we are out of the crazy times. No longer am I seeing multiple offer scenarios with ten different buyers. Still seeing houses sell. It might take a little longer. That means buyers get more time, and sellers still get sold.
Let me know how I can help you.
As always, I love doing what I do. I love looking at the market, and I love building relationships with the people I get to help. Let me know how I can help you. Call me today. You can reach me at 515.639.0047 or RyanLynch@KW.com. I am good at what I do, and I want to help you.
