"An increase in inventory is typical for the spring market," said Holly Callanan, CEO of GHAR. “With home prices continuing to rise, it’s so important for consumers to work with a knowledgeable Realtor early in the process."
In the national outlook, Lawrence Yun, National Association of REALTORS® chief economist stated: “Inventory still remains tight. Multiple offers, though not as intense as a few years ago, are still occurring. At the same time, days on market are lengthening on average, implying that consumers are taking their time before making decisions.”
