SUMMARY & OUTLOOK
FOR BUYERS
December and January present the best conditions in years. With inventory up +14.7% and pendings down -53.8%, you have expanded choices and negotiating leverage. Thoroughly evaluate options without fear of immediate competition.
FOR SELLERS
Strategic pricing is essential. Values are still up, but velocity has slowed. You are still achieving near-list prices (99.7%), but be prepared for longer market times and the need for minor concessions to close.
