Sales Activity

From the previous period in 2012, total home sales activity in Timbergrove / Lazybrook almost doubled in the month of April.  There were a total of 31 transactions close in April 2013 vs. 16 in April 2012.  Half of all sales in April were under contract in less than 8 days. That's the quickest activity of all the neighborhoods we cover.  In April 2012, half of all sales were under contract in 33 days.  Things are obviously moving very quickly in Timbergrove.

Active Listings

Unfortunately for home shoppers, there is not much to choose from in Timbergrove and Lazybrook.  Currently, there are only 15 homes active and available on the market. In April, 18 homes entered the market.  Only 3 of those listings are still available. The other 15 are either under contract or sold.  Again, the speed at which this market is moving is extraordinary.

Home Prices

Along with the rate of home sales, prices are moving up as well in Timbergrove. In the 12 month period ending in April, prices are up 4.41% to $327076.  A quick review of our previous market updates will show that this rate of growth is accelerating.  We have been predicting for months that tight inventory levels and high demand could eventually lead to higher prices.  Higher prices are here.  If inventory levels continue to remain tight, prices may continue to go up.  Quick sales and higher prices are certainly working into seller's favor.Timbergrove-home
