“May is often the most active month in a given year, but the way sales picked up in momentum after the Victoria Day holiday makes me think we could see sales activity in June surpass May.”

Market recap from Brian Santos, President of KWAR:
“It was good to see more listings coming onto the market in May, but home buying demand continues to outpace the number of homes available…I hope to see more listing activity in June and into the summer months. With mortgage rates as low as they are—demand from buyers is bound to stay strong, making it a good time to sell your home.”
