In December Bath’s Real Estate market continued to see the inventory deplete. With only 35 Current Listings available for buyers, the market has really turned towards the favor of the seller. December will mark the lowest level of inventory in Bath in 2015 and 2016! Now is a great time to start your plans for listing in 2017. The buyers are still out looking and with inventory so low it might not be a bad idea to beat the other spring listings.
