North Kingstown home sales are up by 29% over the prior month and pending home sales are down by 26% over September.  Both the sold homes and pending sales together show a balanced home market here to begin this this last quarter.

 Year over year though, year to date home sales are up by 32% through October 2013 over year to date October 2012.  These are huge statistics that you as a home seller or buyer need to know.  Home prices continue to stabilize and are a bit down year to date, year over year with a 2% decline still.  

Realize that the homes selling here are in updated condition and at an attractive price point to obtain an accepted offer.  Being ‘show ready’, right location and well priced to market combines to make a sale happen for buyers and sellers.

Home inventory will continue to decrease as many homeowners wait to put their homes on the market next spring.  There is no reason to wait as the home buying market is strong, inventory down and home mortgage rates remain stable.  Catch the buyer while you can with decreased competition!

North Kingstown has so much to offer buyers in the way of geographic location, top performing North Kingstown schools, access to the coastal waters, Wickford Village, nearness to Providence airport and the abundant variety in home choices.
