4. There are hardly any houses on the market in my town, but that should change in a few months when we thaw

out. TBS, anything that does come on the market is snapped up in days and for over ask. House down the street from me sold for 80k in September and one on my block when for $40k over ask. That one is being completely gutted and renovated. There has been fewer houses here on the market for several years now. No one wants to give up their low mortgage rate. The house down the block was an elderly couple and the husband died. That is why wife put the house on the market. On the few plots of land left in my town, builders are putting up $800k+ homes (just your standard suburban house) and they are definitely selling. It’s mainly one street with 10 homes on them, plopped down anywhere there is available land. They are not in neighborhoods.

It’s our excellent school district that is selling homes in my town.
