Several big things here. New inventory is coming on faster than it’s clearing, with 520 new listings and 318 contract and contingent offers accepted. Average list price is down 5.37%, which is less than I anticipated, but volume is still way off, even from last year, with dollar volume down over 20%.
It’s the less expensive housing that’s moving the fastest in this market. Makes sense, with the $8,000 first time buyer’s tax credit and crazy low interest rates!
