  The short answer is, yes. Especially if you consider how few homes there are for sale today.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
   
 
 
 











 

"Home sales fell, but home prices have held firm in most parts of the country ... Limited supply is still leading to multiple-offer situations, with one-third of homes getting sold above the list price."

- Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist
