Local Market Dynamics:

Location drives most of it. Access to the highway and rail, plus a strong job market within a short drive, keeps buyers coming. Competition among agents is stiff and fragmented, which can work in your favor.

Interest rates matter a lot. When borrowing costs rise, affordability tightens and some buyers pause. New construction adds supply in certain pockets, which can soften competition for resale homes nearby.

How This Affects Buyers/Customers:

Practically? A buyer with a flexible budget can choose between an older ranch with a big lot and a newer townhome with lower upkeep. A seller of an older home might compete against new construction, so presentation and pricing strategy matter.
