To Infinity and Beyond

In the second quarter of 2020 the entire country shut down and there was a sharp decline in real estate sales. It was anyone’s guess which way the market would go. The Fed lowered interest rates to stimulate the economy and it worked.

It set off a home buying spree that has pushed home prices to infinity and beyond. Even new construction sales are are moving so fast builders are having a hard time keeping up. Some have even slowed down sales, releasing just a few lots at a time. In the City of Westlake, the city Minto builders built from the ground up, there is a waiting list for the waiting list.

Looking at 2021, sales have kept pace with 2020 and prices have shot skyward. Let’s compare the numbers to see how much.
