Conditions have improved tremendously.

Average price per sq. ft. $ 113.89, compared to $ 107.06 of the last 12 months.

Increase in average price of homes sold year over year: 29.4%, a fabulous improvement.

Increase in average price per sq. ft. sold year over year:  28.8%, also a significant increase.

Inventory is extremely low, very few houses offered in the market. The number of distressed sales is tailing off as time progresses:  September 2011 to 2012 it was 91%, 2012 to 2013 same period it was 33%.  67% of houses sold in the last 12 months took place in the last 6 months which shows owners are now more willing to sell to take advantage of better prices.

First time buyers, because of still affordable prices and relatively low interest rates, and investors, most of them paying cash, are the main source of demand.

Conditions are  given to sell your house at an attractive price and in a relatively short time. This is a good time to put your house on sale.
