What This Means for Buyers
Sales are rising while new listings are slowing, so well-priced homes may draw more competition than they did a few weeks ago. Inventory is still steady across the region, which means there are options, but it pays to be ready to act. Lower rates help a little too, so getting preapproved now can put you in a stronger position. Browse homes for sale.
What This Means for Sellers
With fewer new listings coming on and sales up in every county, sellers who list now face slightly less fresh competition. Days on market held steady in 6 of 7 counties, so pricing correctly from day one remains the key to a smooth sale. Find out what your home is worth.
