Both New Listings and Pending Sales fell in a parallel manner; while Closed Sales actually climbed higher than last month. With Active Inventory falling strongly to such a low level we are clearly in a Strong Seller's Market.
The Average Price for New Listings actually dropped substantially from last month; withe Closed sales prices easing and actually higher than the average for new listings.
Finally, Average Days on Market rose by 2 days; and Median Days fell by 3 days. Both measures show the market to still be quite brisk.
