The Real Estate Market is certainly starting to pick up.

You’re going to hear that Closed Sales are significantly down in the month of May, and that’s true (they are down 34% from May 2019).  BUT that is because the homes closing in May are from those that went Pending in late March and April when the COVID restrictions went into place and caused many buyers and sellers to hold back on their plans.

Days on the Market is down to 38 Days on average.
