The Trend

A Quarter in Motion

Prices have held in a tight band through the early summer, moving only modestly month to month, a sign of stability rather than volatility. July’s slightly longer days on market reflects a broader mix of listings coming to market, including higher-priced multi-family homes that typically take a bit longer to sell.
