Beginners Guide: The Truth About Real Estate

Though you can certainly look at nationwide stats like median home price, sales volume, or the number of homes on the market, the truth is real estate is local.

Every city, county, and state has its own unique marketplace, with its own unique buyers, sellers, and trends. There are even different rules and regulations to contend with within each area.

Because of this, real estate markets vary greatly depending on locale.

I have a client with crazy criteria and we finally found something that was everything they wanted but we didn't get it. Know that If you’re planning to invest in, buy, or sell real estate, it’s important to be tuned in to your local market — not just what’s going on nationwide.

Hope this helps!
