Our market is starting to slow down, and here’s what that means.
According to the national news media, the real estate housing boom is officially over. To further confirm this, I spoke to a couple of real estate agents I know from other parts of the country who are feeling the same thing. For example, one agent in the southeast told me that she has a listing that has been sitting on the market for 12 days, and a friend in Texas said his listings went from getting 60-something offers to about 30. So today I’m taking a deep dive into the data and sharing where I think our market is heading.
