🔍 What's Really Happening in the Market?
🔻 Sold Homes Declined — But It's Not a Crisis
The dip in March sales reflects slower contract activity from earlier in the year. No surprises here—this is typical for late winter.
📈 Pending Sales Show Real Strength
March saw a healthy rebound in pending activity, signaling that closings in April and May should be much stronger.
💰 Pricing Remains Steady
Average prices are up slightly, and median prices are holding close. We’ve seen a year of stable values—this isn’t a market in turmoil.
📦 Inventory is Rising
More homes are hitting the market, giving buyers options and adding competitive pressure for sellers. It’s a healthy trend, but one that requires strategy.
💸 Sales Volume Follows Sold Units
As expected, dollar volume dipped with fewer closings—but with pending contracts improving, volume should rise soon.
🌍 Economic Uncertainty is Weighing on Some Buyers
While rates remain stable, global and domestic events have some buyers pausing. Those who stay in the game may find great opportunities while others wait.
