Not entirely time to break out the banners and champagne just yet, but the market outlook is starting to look promising for Sellers. Another week into the Spring market and a larger gap widened between the inventory levels of this year and last. Just looking at the new listing additions compared to last, there is quite a significant difference. The abundant additions might have been late bloomers to the market, given the brutal winter in 15, but it still seems quite the difference. We have had a slower trickle of inventory than usual this year, and with positive Buyer engagement, there has been real progress to the recovery of the selling market. Just look at the absorption rate. Down a full 13 weeks from the same time last year, and decreasing every week. Buyers are still heavily active and increasing in volume, just look at the listings that have gone conditional, up 24 units more than this time last year. The market year will be summarized by the next few months (unless something extraordinary happens), but if things keep going the way they have been, it might prove to be the year that many have been hoping for. Stay tuned to find out! WEEKLY ADOPTABLE This adorable amstaff mix is full of beans and loves to cuddle in your lap. She would be better suited to a home with children 12 years of age or older.
