Sales activity increase led by lower-priced homes
Increased sales and easing new listings reduced housing inventories in August. Sales were primarily driven by homes priced below $500,000.

The decline in new listings was enough to start chipping away at overall inventory levels, which have eased slightly compared to last year.
The slight adjustment in supply levels has helped support further reductions in the months of supply, which was 4.6 months in April. While this level still represents oversupply in our market, it does reflect improvement from the nearly seven months of supply that we saw at the start of the year. Continue reading →
