Bottom line

It is typical for supply levels to fluctuate during this time of year. However, we are not seeing inventory completely dry up, and levels indicate sellers are listing to test current demand. While a brief storm is moving through this weekend, this is one of the driest winters in many years, which is undoubtedly helping to keep the housing market moving along. With spring right around the corner, now is the time to begin planning if engaging the housing market is a goal for the summer.
