Throughout the year the number of pending sales have fluctuated month to month with the final YTD showing a 4.7% overall increase.

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.
