Q. Why is the market UP 12.2% year-to-date compared to than last year?
A. Our real estate market is fueled by a bundle of positive external stimulus factors.
Factors like:

- Job growth and low unemployment.
- Stable oil prices.
- Positive consumer confidence.
- Corporate-relocation moving people in and out (like an Exxon/Mobil).

- Excellent mortgage rates in the historically low 3% range.
All positive External Stimulus Factors are in place. Our real estate market is healthy and gaining strength.
