The Following are crucial navigating the current real estate market:

–        Individual markets vary significantly and current statistics are crucial (Seller / Balanced / Buyer)

–        Many properties are not being priced according to current conditions, relisted, cancelled, the Over-Promise & Under-Deliver

–        Prices are stable but buyers have more to choose from
