Throughout the year the number of pending sales have fluctuated month to month with the final YTD showing a 4.7% overall increase. Contingent sales are up by 12.2%, pending sales up 4.7%; expired listing activity is down 3.2% over last year’s YTD totals. Sales volume is up and withdrawn listings are down 1.7%. Back on market listings have seen an increase by 31.6%; perhaps the favorable interest rates and increase in sales volume has sparked a renewed interest for those sellers still working towards a successful transfer. Interest rates remain low and affordable around 4% to 4.5% and today’s engaged buyers, with the means to purchase have a number of market factors working in their favor.
