What this reading means for you
If you're buying
There aren't many homes for sale compared with how quickly they're selling, so there's less to choose from. Get your pre-approval letter before you tour, so you're ready to make an offer when the right home comes up.
If you're selling
With fewer homes for sale, buyers have fewer choices, but they still compare. Price your home on recent nearby sales and have it ready to show from day one.
