Although it is still hard for homebuyers to buy a home, there has been evidence of a change in pace in the last couple of weeks. There are fewer multiple offers and over-priced homes stay in the market longer due to an increase in inventory.
New supply in the market has reduced the speed of increasing prices. Therefore if you have a house you want to sale you need to work with a professional real estate agent to make sure your asking price is fair and realistic based on today’s market, not even yesterday’s.
