Summary:

The fall real estate market usually demonstrates a traditional seasonal slowing, and we have begun experiencing that, no doubt complicated this year by a very active summer as well as pandemic effects. We have seen not only a recent decline in sales, but price reductions as well. As falling inventory offers fewer choices to buyers, and the upcoming holiday season competes for attention, it's more the on-going uncertainty about the economy and the pandemic that will keep the market cooled. We're anticipating it will stay that way, with moderate sales and a lessening of upward price pressure, through the remainder of the year.
