Market Narrative
In terms of supply and demand, the market is getting cooler - more supply is coming on the market relative to the sales demand. However, in recent weeks prices have been moving higher. Since it is technically a Buyers market, this price trend may be a result of improved quality of the homes being listed. Look at the descriptive statistics where you may notice the homes being listed are larger and younger than they have been in the past.
