Sept. Housing Market Stats 2024 over 2023

Here are the Housing market stats for this September 2024 over last year's September 2023.
REINMLS.com:
"September saw an increase in the number of days homes remained on the market. The extra days it’s taking to sell some homes in the region is likely due in part to the additional inventory, but it’s also typical for this time of year, said Gary Lundholm of The Real Estate Group and the President of REIN’s Board of Directors. “If you look at last year, the median days on market increased from 14 in Aug to 17 in September, and in 2022 it went from 15 in August to 18 in September. So, an increase of a few days is very typical as we transition to fall.”

Realtor’s commission The real estate commission is usually the biggest fee a seller pays — 5 percent to 6 percent of the sale price. So, if you sell your house for $250,000, you could end up paying $15,000 in commissions. The commission is split between the seller’s real estate agent and the buyer’s agent.

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.

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.
