Inventory in the under-$2,000,000 market remains exceptionally low at just 1 month. Inventory above $2,000,000 is substantially higher – 4.8 months. Sellers should expect fewer offers, and with lower offer prices. But, at least in the entry-level market, a well-priced property should still receive multiple offers.
