In contrast, the number of new listings coming to market continues to decline compared with last year’s levels, which has reduced the available inventory." Mr. Duce also stated, "With the Home Price Index (HPI) showing a slight month-over-month dip, and a modest year-over-year decline, there are opportunities for both buyers and sellers in this market, which is why it’s important to work with a local REALTOR® who understands the nuances of each area."
