Slight Seller's Advantage
Market Narrative
The market has been cooling off a bit in recent weeks, as more homes are available and demand is less. We’ll be looking for a persistent downward trend. If we see a persistent trend, especially if the MAI falls from the Seller’s Market zone to the Buyer’s Market zone, expect downward pressure on prices. There is already some evidence prices moving lower.
