- We are in a Balanced Market, but it varies significantly by city and price point.
- Demand is not declining at this time. If you have a listing that is sitting, it is due to inventory increasing and more competition in the marketplace.
- Accepted contracts are moving up, along with active inventory counts. Inventory is higher than it’s been in years.
- 8 of 17 major cities are in Seller’s Markets. 4 of 17 are in balance, and 5 of 17 are Buyer’s Markets. Six cities have increased in CMI over the past 30 days, while the rest have weakened.
