July Review: Compared to this time last year, July saw only slight variation in four of the six metrics we investigate for this blog. Days on market was up significantly compared to this time last year; however it was down compared to June. Additionally the number of new listings was down nearly 15% compared to last year and lost about 9% compared to June this year. With all of this in mind we are seeing a normal decline in market activity due to the seasonality of our area. Nationally, mortgage interest rates are exceptionally low yet affordability continues to be a serious concern.
