Summary:

There never is much to say about the real estate market in the dead of winter. There just isn’t much happening, and there are very few reliable indicators to suggest future market trends. But structurally, we don’t see any indications - yet - of any significant change from what the market has done over the last couple of years. So we’re expecting a slow and steady increase in prices, with sales maintaining the previous slower pace, and continuing difficulty for affordable home buyers.
