Pending home sales are down in our area because listings have declined. Sales are strong. It is only possible to sell what is available to be sold and not enough properties are hitting the market to satisfy demand.

Prices have not dropped around here, John Pusa

John Juarez pending home sales are down in many areas due to property owners not placing homes in market to satisfy demand. Hopefully we have more homes available for sale soon. Thanks for the comment.
