The Value of Your Arlington Home Could Be Soaring!

Unless your home happens to be under a rock, you’ve seen the news on the local housing market – low interest rates, low inventory and rising home values. But maybe you never paid much attention because selling your home was never really on the radar. You’re pretty happy where you are and moving is such a hassle. Maybe someday…..

But what if the value of YOUR HOME is soaring beyond what you thought possible? Not ‘someday’ but right now?

During my career, I have not experienced this type of market and no one can predict where it is heading.  Your home is one of your most important investments. You should know its value, whether you’re thinking of selling or not. 

The difference one year can have on real estate is impressive. Take a look at the statistics below for comparisons of home sales in Arlington between 2013 and 2014. For example, there has been a 16% increase in the average sales price of a single family home, and a 35% decrease in days on market – meaning homes in Arlington are selling faster and for a higher price than ever before.

Right now is an amazing time for home sellers. ‘Someday’ could be a very different story.
