Considerations for Buyers and Sellers
FOR BUYERS
Sale-to-list and sale-to-original-list ratios were both above 100% this month, indicating that closed transactions generally exceeded asking price. Buyers should factor this into offer strategy for comparable detached listings.
FOR SELLERS
Months of supply decreased to 3.1, and pending sales increased notably. With only 7 closed sales this month, reviewing recent, closely comparable transactions is recommended when setting a listing price.
