We now have almost six years of inventory on the market.

Although inventory continues to build, overall volume dropped from 34.5% in March to 29.0% in April. Lets hope this is a sign of the market bottoming.

Nationally, new home sales rose 3.3% in April. Another sign we may be bottoming.

As buyers begin their search for a new home, they are looking for reasons to eliminate homes from their search. Be sure not to give them a reason to eliminate yours.
