Summit County Market Update October 2016 Courtesy of Land Title Guaranty Co.

Inventory hits amazing new Lows!
There is now only about 375 active listings in Summit County. A balanced market is somewhere between 1800-2100 listings. Median days on the market is still around 17. You know what supply and demand means for prices. If you think spring will bring you more choices think it through. Waiting till spring just means higher prices. If you see something you like waiting is costing you money and another ski season.
