Although the weather may be reflective of the season (somewhat), the stats are trending warmer month reports. New listing additions are way down this week, and sales remained steady, which kept the sales to list ratio at parity with last week. Single family home and vacant land inventory continued to decline this week, where condo's actually increased its ranks. Odd for the time of year, but because of the small market share condo's hold, their numbers are easily influenced by any drastic fluctuation really. Overall values remain steady, but down from last year for the fourth week in a row. Not sure if this is a seasonal factor, or if there is something larger at play here, like the changes in mortgage rules, increased rates etc, making budgets for home buyers shrink. Or, have we seen a small market adjustment? As always, the first time home buyer price point is the most active, so active in fact, there are areas of the city still producing multiple offer situations. With the above mentioned budget shrinking for the second tier buyer, I can't help but think that some of this group has had to move down into the entry level bracket, increasing the completion there. In any case, it's been an interesting market year, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the overall impact has been at the end. Stay tuned to find out how the market year turns out!
