April 2013 housing statistics are out! Homes sold quickly in Pacific Union’s Contra Costa County region in April 2013 – an average of just three weeks on the market, down from more than six weeks on the market a year earlier.
Says Dana Green, Lafayette’s top-producing Realtor:
“Thus far, May is turning out a lot like April. Strong demand for Lafayette homes often means that properties attract multiple buyers quickly. Properties sell in a matter of days, not weeks. Some properties could attract offers in a matter of hours, but that isn’t always best for sellers. To give more buyers a chance to organize offers for properties in the most sought after neighborhoods, I often recommend sellers opt for holding both their Broker’s Open and Sunday Open House before accepting offers. This strategy helps clients earn top dollar for their property.”
