Inventory levels have increased since the winter in Summit County.  The market here is becoming a little more neutral than a full on Seller’s market.  Now is a good time to buy in Summit County because of the choices.  Some properties have been on the market for more than a few months and perhaps the seller may be a little more negotiable than in prior years when there are not a lot of choice. 

Our market has never experienced a bubble like other areas in the nation.  WE have been consistently growing anywhere between 10-25% appreciation a year.  It has stabilized a little this year due to the economist portraying doom and gloom everywhere.  However, we are not experiencing a decline in prices or do we experience foreclosures here.  Generally if a property is going to foreclosure, it is usually sold or rectified before that even happens.

Now is a great time to buy in Summit County .  I know the news media is portraying doom and gloom for the housing market, however, they are basing their information on major cities.  We are not a major city.  We are a resort community.  People love the mountains to relax and play.  Our economy is not based on the national economy.  People choose to come in for fun or because they want to live in the mountains.

Interest rates are low,our prices are not going down, so don’t wait, because we are not in a housing bubble.  Our market continues to be strong and the sales prices continue to rise slowly, but steady.
