Our Team’s Take On Current Market
April’s numbers tell a pretty clear story. Buyers came back, inventory shrank across the board, and prices are holding. The condo market in particular is showing real life after a sluggish stretch. We are not in a frenzy, but the window for buyers to negotiate freely is getting smaller. If inventory keeps tightening and pending sales keep rising, price pressure will follow. Pay attention to the next two months.
