Housing Market Sinking
Hyperactive buyers have been driving up home prices for homes that are in good condition and have been selling at a record pace. The housing market is still far from normal as the inventory of homes available to buyers is at historic lows. The low inventory and low-interest rates are proving to be home price accelerants.
The latest market trends point to a shift in activity. We may have passed the peak for this hot market. According to Realtor.com the decline in time on the market has slowed for the first time in months, indicating that some properties are sitting on the market longer and may be pointing to a positive development for buyers. Time will tell.
