What time is it in our Market? One Step Forward, One Step Back...still excellent for buyers

Posted on Aug 06, 2026

Last month, I commented on how June suggested we might be moving back to a better market: sales were up year-over-year; we were seeing some multiple offers, and even the media reported that the real estate market, at least for detached homes, seemed to be picking up.
