Summary:
 
While sales showed small gains in February 2022, what we're seeing is most definitely not the usual spring awakening from the slow winter market. Few potential sellers have responded to higher home values, so inventory has remained well below what is needed. The buyer pool, though small, is apparently much higher, so multiple offers and contracts significantly higher than listing price are increasingly common. Of more concern, buyers at what used to be the low-to-mid levels of the market are simply being out-priced and out-competed. The real estate market is shrinking as home ownership becomes less accessible. Uncertainty - presently in great supply from the economy, the events in Ukraine, political upheaval, and on-going pandemic effects - is always the enemy of market stability. It's going to take a while to get this back to normal.
