Sales in the first 4 months of 2012 have been very strong throughout the Ann Arbor region.  Long-standing records were broken at Reinhart.  We are seeing many areas moving into a “Sellers” market because homes are selling faster than new listing are arriving to the market.  Prices have begun to rise in response to the supply shortage.

If you have been waiting for a healthier market to make your move, it is here.  Activity is brisk, with buyers feeling an urgency to act while affordability is still good and interest rates remain historically low.

For sound advice and help creating your real estate plan, contact a Reinhart Realtor today.
