Today, we answer the question: What's the state of the market here in Nevada County?

First, let's take a look at the numbers:
  • Sales are down 17% 
  • Prices are up 9% 
  • Distressed home sales have fallen significantly 
  • An appreciation rate of about 6% is expected for 2015

What does all of this mean for you? Well, if you're looking to sell your home in the next year or so, you'll be doing business in an incredibly healthy market. The fact that sales have fallen is, in a sense, a good thing; it's indicative of a drop off in distressed property sales, which means our market is returning to normalcy.

Since homes are appreciating at a more sustainable rate than they were in 2013, first-time home buyers will have more opportunities to find an affordable home down the road. If you're looking to sell, people are still getting high values for their homes, so now is a great time to put your home on the market.
