In summary for the condo market in 2013, there was a significant increase in the number sold and condos sold more quickly and at a higher price than the previous two years.  So far in 2014, the price of condos is higher than the median for the previous three year period.   The median days on market is down significantly – when a new property is listed it is selling quickly.
In summary for the single-family home market in 2013, while the number sold and the median price remained relatively flat, the days on market reduced. There is a slight increase so far in days on market 2014 but it is too soon to be a trend. The median price is up – again, too early in the year and too few sales to call it a trend).
While this information is useful in observing trends, the current inventory must also be considered. Below is a snapshot of the available properties available today:

Inventory remains low but is slowing increasing in both categories. This increase is expected to continue as historically inventory increases in the spring.  Again, the median days on market is dropping significantly. The message to buyers is to be ready to make an offer as the properties are not on the market long.
