April Highlights

  • This supply-demand imbalance, where demand surpasses supply, has led to an overall increase in average prices in April compared to the previous year. The limited inventory acts as a support for prices, preventing them from declining.
  • While homes are indeed selling, there is a shortage of listings due to hesitant sellers. As a result, pending sales are decreasing.
  • The spring/summer market typically experiences increased activity, so those interested in making a move should consider getting themselves and their homes prepared. Sellers often prefer to sell when the weather is warm, and buyers with families aim to close on their homes before the new school year to allow ample time for settling in.
