As we approach the end of the month and 4th quarter, activity across the board takes a bit of a rest. With holidays right around the corner, most folks tend to take a break from the property buying or selling venture and get other shopping done, or simply take some time off. Seasonally, it is the slowest time of year, and usually reports the lowest inventory of the year...usually. Since we continued to pad the inventory stats as the year went on, the lowest inventory report of the year was actually the beginning of the year, but that is due to the correcting market. Speaking of inventory, it did conclude the year with just over 200 more properties for sale than last year at this time, and almost double from two short years ago. Activity does appear very similar to this time last year, expect for the value spread, inventory count, and listings coming off the market, but similar in many other respects. The question at this point is where do we go from here? If the late Winter / first quarter market of 2024 is anything like 2023, we could be in for another wild ride! This year started out with a bang and held that momentum will into the Summer months, only to fizzle out in the third quarter to where we are now. The interest rate hikes this year surely helped things cool, but with rates on hold for the time being and values finally levelling out, there is renewed optimism that the market will be more inviting to Buyers in 2024.
