GLAR President Karen Story commented that, “Our market has about 3 months of inventory, so it’s still technically a seller’s market, but it really depends on your neighborhood.” She added that, “In today’s market, on average, listings that do sell are taking about 2 months to go under contract.”
Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist of the National Association of Realtors® commented that market conditions at the end of the year were mixed. Specifically, he noted that, “Inventory is plentiful on the upper-end, but a mismatch between supply and demand exists at affordable price points.”
