Things are changing. More homes are coming on the market and the frenzy of the last few years is dying down. We still have an inventory shortage, but there is more movement and a loosening up happening. There are still plenty of qualified buyers and a lot of cash and equity.
I am happy to see this shift; change is what gives activity to the real estate market and this will just open up more opportunities for buyers and sellers. Always a good thing. Stagnant is never where we want to be.
