When it comes to buying or selling a home, most people rely on instinct, emotion, and experience—and those are all important. Karen also believes in the power of data. Real estate statistics are more than just numbers—they are the pulse of the market. And understanding them can mean the difference between a good deal and a great one.

Real Estate Is Local—And So Are the Numbers

You’ve probably heard the phrase “location, location, location.” But just as important is “timing, timing, timing.” Real estate stats help us understand:

• Current Market Conditions: Are we in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market? Inventory levels, days on market, and average sale-to-list price ratios tell the story.

• Price Trends: Stats reveal how home values are trending—not just nationally, but in your specific neighborhood.

• Supply and Demand: Knowing how many homes are available versus how many buyers are actively looking helps set expectations for competition.

 Informed Decisions = Better Outcomes

Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or investor, decisions based on emotion alone can lead to missed opportunities. Statistics help guide:

• Pricing Strategies: Sellers can price competitively and avoid sitting on the market too long.

• Offer Decisions: Buyers can gauge how aggressive they need to be—or when to hold back.

• Investment Analysis: Cash flow projections, cap rates, and ROI models help investors make profitable moves.

 What We Track (And Why You Should Too)

Karen doesn’t just glance at the MLS. We dive deep into:

• Median and average sale prices

• Days on market (DOM)

• Absorption rates

• Months of inventory

• List-to-sale price ratios

• New listings vs. sold listings trends

• Mortgage rate impacts on demand

We use these stats to provide clarity and confidence to our clients every step of the way.

 Real Estate Is Still Personal—But It’s Better Backed by Data

Our mission is to pair deep local expertise with hard data to help you make empowered, strategic decisions. We use statistics to spot trends early, price accurately, and negotiate effectively.

Because in real estate, knowledge isn’t just power—it’s profit.
