Only 15 new listings last week and 29 pending. That means we put almost 2x as many homes under contract than came on the market. So the inventory continues to fall to 334. It was 241 at this same time last year. In fact, here is a comparison of the last 4 years of new listings, sales, and pending for this week in December.
Year New Pending Total
2022 15 29 334
2021 19 38 241
2020 17 35 269
2019 34 21 607
So it appears that we are in a “post-pandemic” despite the high interest rates. Who knows when or if we will get back to the pre-pandemic market of 2019. The interest rates have put a lid on price increases and may start to push prices down. But I have not been able to verify downward movement of prices yet.
