“Since the pandemic began, the RAHB market area has been anything but predictable and each new month has brought historic highs and lows,” said RAHB president Donna Bacher.
“We are seeing the number of sales and active listings slightly decrease compared to the previous four months, which is inline with seasonal trends,” Bacher added. “We are continuing to experience high demand coupled with record low inventory in almost all property types which is driving sale prices.”
