Good news, sales are still trending upwards. There were 19 more sales in May than in April.
- Offers at the beginning of the month were 150 this was a 11.1% increase over last year same time, and 12 more than in April.
- The number of months it will take to get rid of the inventory has improved drastically.
- If you have been sitting on the fence, take note that rate has risen but still a good deal, and if you are a First Time Buyer the clock is ticking, just a few months left for you to close on that home and benefit from the $8000 tax credit.
