Home sales remained solid in December as prices leveled off and low interest rates continue to provide support to the housing market. Our local housing market has maintained a healthy sales pace above pre-pandemic levels, despite a decline in sales from 2020 levels. Market competition remained high in December but was less intense than it had been a few months ago.

In December our current inventory is hitting a record of an all time low. Overall, the housing inventory is about 60% lower than prior years, pre-pandemic. There were 26 new listings coming up on the market last month, compared to 33 new listings in December last year. The median sales price is up 5.5% compared to the same month last year, while the number of closed sales was down 24.4% due to the lack of inventory.
