Summary:

January is almost always a slow month, and January 2024 was no exception. The regional housing market lacked energy, with sales and inventory both at low levels. Prices were merely reflective of the specific homes sold – relatively low demand and the high supply of homes argue against any real upward price pressure.

To date, there are no indications that improvements in the national economy from job gains and slowing inflation, as well as declining interest rates, are having a significant impact on housing. But while high prices and economic uncertainty remain on-going concerns for buyers and sellers alike, the economy is headed in a positive direction.
