Total property sales are down from last year, but active listings are up, which have been the trend throughout the year.

This is the first time in over a year that the pending sales index is up, showing that our activities have increased.
“Inventory levels are healthy, which means more opportunities for everyone.”
Another interesting data point is from the U.S. Consumer Price Index. The most recent report showed an inflation rate of 3%, which is significantly down from a year ago when we were at over 9%. This downward trend in inflation shows that we have controlled it more effectively at this time.
What does all of this mean for our buyers and sellers? Know that our inventory levels are healthy, which means more opportunities for everyone. Also, the inflation rate is slowing, which is good for all of you because it results in lower interest rates and better prices on consumer goods.
