I would not say it is a great time to buy either. I would like to see a posting where any of the regular realtors who post here say that.
Please point me to that post.
Also as a fact to consider, of the shadow inventory there are MLS listings that were sold that were distressed properties purchased by investors that would also reduce your shadow inventory count but now show up as a MLS distressed sale…
I guess reporting what we see which is strong sales activity is misconstrued by some as a “now is time to buy” mantra.
