How is the market doing?
That is one of the questions we hear most often. The answer depends on price range, location, condition, timing, and the specific home, but we keep an eye on current MLS Grid data so the conversation starts with real numbers.
For a simple snapshot, here is what has happened with three-bedroom homes since July 22nd:
310
three-bedroom homes listed for sale.
$275,167
average original list price for those new listings, trimmed to reduce outlier noise.
$250,436
average sale price for the 280 three-bedroom homes that closed in the same period.
Those closed homes originally listed for an average of $260,682. That list-to-sale relationship is useful context, but every home still needs its own pricing conversation.
What can we help you do?

Mariya Vandivort was absolutely phenomenal throughout our buying process. She really took the time to listen to us and helped us find our perfect home. She was always very prompt with communication. Mariya is very smart and funny, and she has a keen eye for pricing homes. She was honest with us throughout the process, especially when it came to putting offers on homes. Mariya's website was also a huge help in our home buying process, providing an easy way to keep track of the homes we'd visited, alerts on new listings and price changes, and extra pictures of many houses. We would never have ended up in our new home without Mariya's perseverance, dedication, and knowledge. She really took the time to understand our needs and did not pressure us into making a hasty decision. We will continue to recommend Mariya Vandivort to everyone we know looking for a home in the area.
