The Red Hot Quad City Real Estate Market | Ruhl & Ruhl REALTORS

?????????????????????????????????????? January 2, 2012

?

QUAD CITIES ? Even though Jack Frost is nipping at our nose ? the Quad Cities real estate market is still hot and churning even more.

?

Homes pending in November, meaning those real estate transactions that have a contract signed but have not closed, are up 18.7% this month compared to November 2011. Pending sales are a good predictor of the market one or two months from now, as a percentage of those sales end in closed transactions.

?

?This increase in pendings shows us that the uptick in sales in 2012 is going to continue into the New Year,? said Caroline Ruhl, President of Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS. ?We were fortunate to not have the huge downturn in the Quad Cities real estate market suffered by others and we are lucky that we are already back on track from the dip we had.?

Here?s what else is happening in the Quad Cities real estate market:
