The Main Story...

…Fewer closings, a pickup in contracts, and slightly lower rates…


November closings and average sale prices in Sussex County.

Sussex County recorded fewer November closings than a year earlier.

The average closed price was higher year over year and above the five-year average, even after easing from October.

Newly pending coNewly pending contracts by week in Sussex County.ntracts by week in Sussex County.

Newly pending contracts picked up for a second straight week.

The latest count remained below the strongest week in the five-week stretch.

The average 30-year fixed rate eased from October, and the estimated monthly payment edged lower.

Both remained above the levels shown for last November.


Sum It Up

🏠 November’s Sussex County figures show how sales activity and prices can move in different directions. Fewer homes closed than a year earlier, while the average closed price held above last year’s level.

📊 After a mid-stretch dip, new contracts have started to recover. The next few weekly readings will help show whether that pickup can hold.

💰 November brought some month-to-month relief on mortgage costs. For buyers running the numbers, the estimated payment on the same loan was still higher than last November’s.

☀️ As we head deeper into fall, I’ll be watching whether the recent improvement in contract activity carries through the next few weeks.

Accredited Buyers Reprensentative

I'm proud to say that recently I became an Accredited Buyers Representative through the National Association of Realtors.

This accreditation is geared toward the nuances of a Buyer and Seller relationship and how Agency comes into play with Unrepresented Buyers.

Did you know, if you're a Buyer and don't have an Agency relationship with your Realtor®,
they are representing the Seller, NOT YOU!?
