This month we see that compared to last year closed sales remain the same with no growth, while inventory is continuing to climb. We are also witnessing a continued softening of the luxury end of the market.
As talk of increasing interest rates continues (with an increase expected in June) we are noticing buyers are becoming more discriminating as some sellers are stubbornly holding onto unrealistic price expectations and affordability is coming into question.
Check out the market stats and a short video explaining them below:
