Days on The Market Drops to New Low in April

According to recently released data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the median number of days that a home spent on the market hit a new low of 26 days in April, as 57% of homes were on the market for under a month.
NAR’s Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun, had this to say,
“What is available for sale is going under contract at a rapid pace. Since NAR began tracking this data in May 2011, the median days a listing was on the market was at an all-time low in April, and the share of homes sold in less than a month was at an all-time high.”
Strong buyer demand, a good economy, and a low inventory of new and existing homes for sale created the perfect storm to accelerate the time between listing and signing a contract.
The chart below shows the median days on the market from April 2017 to April 2018:

Try Mosquito Dunks for a mosquito-free summer  By Mary Reid Barrow, Lynnhaven River Now You can have a virtually mosquito free summer, thanks to Mosquito Dunks! I know I sound like an advertisement, but in more ways than one I really am not being paid to write this.  Lynnhaven River Now "LRNow" believes in dunks so much that they are giving away a dunk to everyone who participates in their Native Garden Tour on June 28, 2024.  See more here: https://www.lynnhavenrivernow.org/events/   And I am a believer too. I have not had many problems with mosquitoes in the 10 years or so since I started using dunks in my birdbaths and flowerpot saucers & checking for standing water around the yard. Mosquitoes only lay eggs in stagnant water.  The small, granulated donut-shaped dunks, available at places like hardware stores & garden centers, kill mosquito larva in water before they develop into full-fledged mosquitoes and better yet, before then can bite. ...
