Market Summary
There has been a marked decrease in overall sales which was expected given high interest rates and summer heat–there are typically far fewer buyers in July which is one of our hottest months. The climate overall is one of a weak to moderate sellers market–depending upon the price range–though I believe the market is beginning to level off. We might see a small amount of price appreciation over the next few months, but unless interest rates come down, we could be heading towards a more balanced market–this will also depend upon inventory levels and the health of the national economy.
