Market Narrative

The market has been cooling off consistently for several weeks, as more homes are available and demand is less. We have begun to seen prices move lower as a result. If the MAI falls into the Buyer’s zone, it is likely that prices continue their downward trend until we see some turnaround in Market Action.
