Based on the information above, we are in a fairly stable market.   Unit sales remained the same and dollar volume slightly increased by 4.7%.  The average sale price continued it rise, steadily, to $233,193, as the average days on the market for residential properties increased by 12 days, to 74 days for the first half of 2019.  We also saw a slight increase in the number of homes for sale in June.  Monthly supple of inventory remained steady at just under 6 months. This means that if no new home were to be placed on the market, it would take just under 6 months for every home to sell.  The real estate industry considers a 6 to 8 month supply of inventory as healthy.

Interest rates remain low, and it is anticipated that we will see a good real estate market through the remainder of the year.  If you are looking to buy or sell real estate – now is a great time!
