Considerations for Buyers and Sellers

Detached 3-bedroom homes in this segment sold close to both list and original list price this month. Buyers should expect limited room for negotiation on well-priced listings, based on the ratios reported above.
FOR SELLERS
Months of supply decreased to 2.6, indicating a relatively tighter inventory position. With only 6 closed sales this month, comparing a specific property to recent, closely comparable sales is advisable when setting a listing price.
