National Housing Report Quiz
Close-to-List Price Ratio
More homes came onto the market faster than buyers were purchasing, which means buyers had more choices than they’ve had in a while. At the same time, prices were stable. Overall, it’s a steadier, less competitive environment than we’ve seen recently, and that’s giving both buyers and sellers a better chance to make confident decisions.
