While the weekly numbers only give us a narrow view of the market, our analysis is that while the overall numbers of sold homes is down from last year. The average sales price is still rising. However there are more homes for sale and that will have an impact on the pricing for areas where there are a lot of homes for sale. Sellers are still to price their homes so that they are 10-20% below the competition if they want a quick sale. Buyers can have more leverage in areas where there a lot of homes for sale.
