[quote=Scarlett]The low number of sales in July, could it be because the bulk of the buyers looking to move for school have already done so to have a few weeks to settle in, especially if the school starts in mid August?[/quote]
From what I’ve seen over the years, the “spring selling season” (usually the busiest time of the year for sales) starts to wane around June or July. Of course, interest rates have really shot up and ambitious sellers have been jacking up their prices to such an extent that many (most?) areas are now near or above(!) peak bubble prices.
That being said, the lower sales could most definitely be the result of a lack of listings. There is still very little inventory out there.
