April 2022
North Shore sales trended lower in April as the market continued to see greater balance.
The Market.
With interest rates climbing, there is an expectation that it should impact prices. In general, this has yet to happen, as there are buyers with personal motivating factors, as well as those with still valid rate holds. As rate holds start to expire, we anticipate buyers will be more price sensitive. Until then, we are still seeing some exceptional sales, though overall the market is more balanced, albeit inconsistent. We are seeing fewer multiple offer situations, conditional offers, and more price adjustments - all signs of a market that is normalizing.
