The Facts: Slower Sales and Growing Inventory
Market activity in November confirmed the trend of caution. The combination of high borrowing costs and economic uncertainty is keeping sales volumes down while increasing available stock:
Sales Slowed: Total home sales registered on the MLS® were over 1,800, a significant 15% drop compared to November of last year.
Inventory Climbed: This slowdown is creating opportunity. Total active listings surpassed 15,000 homes, marking a substantial 36% increase above the seasonal average. More choice means less bidding pressure.
