531 new properties went under contract in August, up 6.8% from August 2012.  More homes are selling, more properties are going under contract, average sales prices are rising, all the while the active number of listings for sale continue to shrink from the same time last year, down 5.98% to be specific.  Shrinking inventories will continue to drive prices higher and create multiple offer contracts on homes priced well on the market.  Interest rates have ticked up recently so now is the time for home buyers to get off the fence and begin browsing for their first, or next, home!  Visit www.BuyWithCompass.com and let Compass Home Group deliver listings specific to your needs to your inbox on a daily basis!
