What does this all mean?! How’s the Palestine TX Real Estate Market? – July 2017 Market Report
I have a suspicion that next month’s numbers are going to be vastly different from this month. The number of pending sales are up and fewer new listings are being added, which are both indicators that we will enter even more of a seller’s market soon. Inventory is down and buyers competing in multiple offers is getting more and more common, which is driving real estate prices up.
Will the pendulum continue to swing towards favoring sellers the further into the summer market we go? The market is forever shifting and watching the data is a great way to keep an eye on the market trends. It will be interesting to see what next month’s data has in store. Happy housing, yall!
