Summary:

Our statistics for May 2026 are still showing results typical of the season, most likely because the numbers are based on contracts written 1-2 months ago and thus run behind the effects of current events.

Those events - primarily the war in the middle east and its specific economic impact - have yet to disclose their impact on the housing market, as well as on the overall economy, but we can expect that impact will begin to show up more visibly the longer that situation remains unresolved. There is also some unease about the overall stability of the economy and economic uncertainty generally isn’t the best environment for the housing market, but as we mentioned last month, real estate’s strength in acting as a relatively safe harbor in difficult economic times may act to lessen somewhat the negative impacts – but that also may be wishful thinking.

In any event, at the current time, we’re mostly seeing a normally functioning real estate market. We will, as usual, be keeping a close watch, and we’ll do our best to keep you informed. And please know that we’re always here to answer your questions and concerns or just chat about real estate – please give us a call anytime.
