In a nutshell
Low sales volume for a September, and inventory is still low but slowly starting to work it’s way up to average levels. Townhomes are moving (35% sales to active ratio – seller’s market), detached homes are not (6% sales to active ratio – buyer’s market). The market has only slowed more as we approach the end of October, we will see if this last rate pause brings any life to the market.
