Here’s why luxury homeowners should be excited about recent market trends.
A few weeks ago, I told you about the double-digit price increases we were seeing in the real estate market overall. However, what applies to the market at our median price of $250,000 doesn’t always apply in the upper-end market. The luxury market in Augusta refers to homes priced at $750,000 and up. Right now, we have just a 14-month inventory in this section of the market. It might sound like a high number, but you also need to know that we had 23 months of inventory just a year ago. We always have a good bit of inventory in this market, and Augusta is known for its beautiful luxury homes.
If you’ve been thinking about buying a luxury home, this is a great time while inventory is low (relatively speaking). It’s also an advantageous time to sell a luxury home. In this market, people are better able to time their moves in the luxury market, so this is the time when you may consider making a move while inventory is down and sales are up. Applying supply and demand theory, this is a very advantageous market for sellers and an excellent time to sell.
If you have any questions about selling a home or the Augusta market in general, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you.
