As you can see, prices were going up, inventory was going down, and we were trending back toward a seller’s market before the pandemic hit. We’ve seen a lot of would-be buyers put a hold on their plans because they can’t travel but because interest rates are low and real estate has been deemed an essential service, we’re still helping people buy and sell. March and April’s numbers will be an even bigger indicator of where our market is headed, so stay tuned for my next update!
