In a nutshell
What a roller coaster. After years of repeating the same phrase “it was the highest (insert almost any month here) for sales in the last decade”, it went to “it was the lowest July for sales in the last decade”. Full 180. Inventory is up, but still historically low. Sales are low. Some good buys out there, still a good time to sell if you believe the market will continue to drop.
