But first things first.
How is the Market Doing?
Just as in previous months, we can confirm that May 2021 has been yet another active month!
Yet, the big question remains: will this trend continue? Will the demand remain strong thanks to the incredibly low mortgage rates? As we’re headed into summer during which we typically observe a more heated market, all signs point to prices continuing to rise.
The good news for Buyers is that interest rates, even though they have risen, seem to remain low for a little while longer! That means it’s all about being prepared and ready when that dream home pops up! While it’s not nice to be up against other buyers in a multiple offer situation, right now it’s worth to go all in. Because let’s face it, securing a fixed interest rate around 3% on a 30 year mortgage for example will allow you to buy a lot more home than whatever you could have gotten in previous years.
A note to prospective Sellers: give those buyers the homes!! If you have been on the fence about selling your home, we do believe that now would be an excellent time. If you’re curious what your home could sell for in today’s market, we will gladly provide you with a free home value estimate so you can make an informed decision.

So without further ado, let’s look at May’s real estate activity in Sanford…
Sanford’s latest Real Estate Numbers
In the month of May 2021, 174 homes sold on MLS. That’s 12 homes more than in April 2021. For comparison, in May 2020, only 84 homes sold on MLS – that’s less than half. Obviously, we need to keep in mind that at this time last year we were dealing with a slow market due to the lockdown and the uncertainties of the pandemic. We are, in fact, back to 2019 levels where 172 homes sold in the same month. We still see home values going strong, and homes that enter the market selling quickly due to the above mentioned still very low inventory and historically low interest rates.
