In general, the country is experiencing a balanced real estate market in one form or another, depending on geographic location. While it is true that median sales prices
are relatively high in terms of housing affordability for the standard household wage, metrics such as new listings, pending sales and inventory are all fairly level with
year-ago levels in much of the nation. At a time of stock market volatility, political uncertainty and rising interest rates, this is very welcome news.
