Real Estate Values Climb Steadily as Market Struggles for Balance

October 28, 2023 By quadcities Leave a Comment

Home prices continue to rise, inventory continues to fall short of a balanced market, and the interest rate on a standard 30-year mortgage is hovering around 7.8%. Prescott Area Association of Realtors President and KMF Real Estate Broker/Owner Faye Humphrey says the Quad Cities remains a seller’s market, but she says, “It’s always a great time to buy the right real estate.” For those who remember interest rates of the 1980s in the high teens, 7.8% looks pretty good. But compared to just a few … [Read more...] about Real Estate Values Climb Steadily as Market Struggles for Balance

September 27, 2023 By quadcities Leave a Comment

For many, owning a home is the epitome of the American Dream. It represents a sense of stability, provides a place to raise a family, and is an investment in one’s future. Homeownership can offer the potential for wealth accumulation through property appreciation and the opportunity to build equity over time. This quintessential dream does not stop there. It is deeply connected to economic security and, in fact, real estate is often cited as a key economic indicator. The housing market’s … [Read more...] about Real Estate as an Economic Indicator

May 24, 2023 By quadcities Leave a Comment

Homeownership is part of the American Dream, and realtors play an essential role in that dream, but their value extends much further than that. Every home sale generates $88,000 in local economic activity, accounting for 18% of the nation’s GDP, and every two home sales supports one American job. Real estate transactions are complex and include far more than many people know; attorney reviews, filing state/federal forms, tracking mortgage rates/terms, coordinating with lenders, scheduling … [Read more...] about Championing Private Property Rights

Real Estate Remains Fundamental to Local Commerce

October 30, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

For most of us, 2022 was a year spent watching the housing market closely. As mortgage rates fluctuated and home prices continued to rise, many began to expect that the real estate industry was in trouble. However, a better word would be “transition.” Although inflation continues to be a concern, consumer sentiment remains strong. According to the most recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment numbers are holding steady in our region.

Area Real Estate Market is Mixed

October 6, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

According to recently published statistics from the Prescott Area Association of Realtors, the area real estate market remained reasonably strong in August 2022 versus August 2021, but there are signs of weakness. For the entire market area, the sold median price versus a year ago is up 7.4%, from $437,500 to $470,000. The median days on the market went up from 11 in August 2021 to 33 in August 2022.

Will the New Year Deliver Another Hot Real Estate Market?

January 30, 2022 By quadcities Leave a Comment

For those in the business of real estate, 2021 was among the fastest-moving markets in history throughout the Quad Cities area. Some of the statistics are actually hard to believe. However, the unrivaled Multiple Listing Service provided by the Prescott Area Association of Realtors (PAAR) reveals that, last year, homes in this area spent just 11 days on the market. That is half the time it took homes to sell in 2020. Not only is home inventory flying off the shelves, the median price buyers … [Read more...] about Will the New Year Deliver Another Hot Real Estate Market?
