Good Monday Morning,

As you can see from the following statistics, the Real Estate market in the Eugene and Springfield area remains very strong.  The largest obstacle at this time is that there is only 1.7 months of active inventory of homes for sale. This is critically low number and it is creating a shortage of affordable homes for would-be buyers.  For anyone considering the sale of their home, there just could not be a better market.  If you are considering the sale of your home, don't wait, get your home on the market "NOW" and take advantage of this very strong sellers market. Here are December's Lane County home sales numbers.
