Short Market Supply

The short supply (about 50-70% of normal) makes this an excellent time to list your home for maximum return. Interest rates are still low, buyers want to move by Spring and the existing inventory is small all add up to a great time to list and sell.

If you are interested in selling, I recommend you start the process with a no obligation Market Analysis to help set your price. Keep in mind that even with a hot market, a home needs to be priced properly. In fact I would even recommed more than one analysis. A realtor can help you with this process. No need for an appraisal at this point.

Did you know that statistics show that 80% of all properties sold are sold through a Realtor. Further, properties sold using a Realtor usually sell for more money. Both important facts to keep in mind. One other fact. Windermere real estate, in Wenatchee, has the shortest marketing time of any of the major Wenatchee Realtors. The average for our MLS was about 105 days for 2004. Windermere's average was 87 days. The other majors run from a high of 138 days to a low of 100. These numbers are based upon 2004 sales of listings reported by the local MLS. So if you want fast fesults it pays to talk to a Windermere agent!
