Market recap from Tony Schmidt, President of KWAR:
“I think the flatter price acceleration we’re seeing is due to softer demand for higher-priced properties. The new stress test may be having the impact of slowing down aspiring move-up buyers, as well as making it more difficult for entry-level purchasers.”
The average time it took to sell a home in March was 19 days, compared to 14 days in March 2017.
