December is here and November’s numbers are in! How about enjoying the real estate news with a hot cocoa this time of year?!

Compared to this time last year, the market is still looking great! The number of homes sold AND pending sales are up from this time last year. Overall, it’s doing better than expected.

It’s no wonder with high demand and the lowest inventory all year that the market prices are up 3% since last year and still in the black!
