This time in the market usually sees week over week gains, peaking in July (respectively), and teetering off by Christmas. There is some odd weeks, like last week, that sees inventory reduction, although rare. The interesting thing is the larger than average number of this reduction. Usually, the end of the month listing expiries coincide with the additional inventory additions, which makes for an above average report. This week, however, the lower then average additions did not create said buffer, ultimately affecting the overall inventory showing. Good news for some, and it seems inventory is not the only thing out of sorts. Sales had another solid report this week, and mixed with the lower then average inventory additions, kept the sales to list ratio in a positive state. Price changes were numerous again this week, but I suspect that this will occur until we see our market balance, and strength return to it, to absorb even the questionably priced property. Of course, over-priced property will always be the last to sell. Quite the turn of events from last year so far, and I would encourage you to stop by this week as the monthly report is being worked on currently, and it is something that anyone waiting for better market news should see.
