This is the market you've been waiting for.  The housing supply remains tight and after back to back March Nor’easters in <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/real-estate/search/">Eastern CT</a> we are experiencing increased pent up demand for inventory as temperatures warm and mortgage rates rise just slightly.    </p> <p>I have watched new <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/listings/our-listings/">listings</a> hit the market and enjoy a flurry of showings and quick offers.  For a <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/home-worth/">seller</a> with a desirable property in a sought after area, it can be like fishing a stocked pond.  The minute your bait hits the water you’ve got a school of hungry fish and at least one bite. Granted, not all are hooked but multiple showings and offers is a good day of fishing.  This market can also be fortuitous for those <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/home-worth/" target="_blank">sellers</a> with location, amenity or maintenance-challenged properties.  A lack of competing inventory can make even the most discerning buyer reach for their beer goggles. </p> <p>What is my property worth right now you say?  Easy answer <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/home-worth/" target="_blank">here. </a> We don’t currently offer an instant valuation tool on our website.  Frankly, I’ve not seen one accurate enough to invest in but we can give you a pretty tight number (with an error factor 0f 5-15% if we don’t get a visual inspection) based on <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/listings/sold/" target="_blank">neighborhood sales</a> and competing inventory and our collective experience of about 200 years.  </p> <p><img alt="The HSTimate at HST Real Estate Mansfield CT" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.usmre.com/6225/blog/hstimate.jpg" style="margin: 10px; float: right; width: 300px; height: 225px;">If you don’t mind company, you may want to experience our <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/seller/request-an-hstimate/" target="_blank">HSTimate</a>— A team effort to ensure sellers maximize their price and minimize their market time.  Our <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/our-agents/" target="_blank">team</a> visits your home a<img alt="HST agents at a HSTimate in Mansfield CT" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/files.usmre.com/6225/blog/hstimate2.jpg" style="margin: 10px; width: 251px; height: 188px; float: left;">nd provides written feedback on recommended repairs, updates and suggested list price.  <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/seller/request-an-hstimate/" target="_blank">Learn more</a> about the HSTimate, a Home Selling Team exclusive sure to trump any algorithm. </p> <p> Our <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/popular-searches/coming-soon/">Coming Soon</a> pages on the website spring to life at winters end with <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/buyers/home-buyers-faq-s/">buyers </a>and real estate agents hoping to get the jump on <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/popular-searches/coming-soon/">new inventory</a><a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/popular-searches/coming-soon/" target="_blank"> </a>in the early stages of readying for sale.   Properties appearing on our coming soon pages are in the process of making recommended repairs, updates and general sprucing up to become show-ready before they go <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/real-estate/search/" target="_blank">active</a> in the MLS.   If you are a <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/seller/free-home-evaluation/" target="_blank">seller </a>and would like to add your property to HST coming soon please <a href="https://www.homesellingteam.com/contact-us/" target="_blank">contact us. </a></p> <p> </p>
