For the full year 2024, the number of sales of Single-Family Homes, Condos and Land were all below last year’s pace. The small market segments of Multi-Family and Commercial were both up. The market has cooled off a lot from the frothy times of 2020-2022.
Through the first nine months of 2024, the number of sales of Single-family Homes, Condos and Land are all down compared to 2023 for the same time frame.

What will the rest of 2024 look like?
