"The increase in new listings is a positive sign that has us feeling cautiously optimistic for the market this year. Higher mortgage rates and historically low inventory will likely continue to keep potential sellers in their homes for some time, which would temper the overall number of listings coming onto the market. Overall, we have been waiting for positive signs in the market and this is certainly one of them." Notes CCIAOR CEO Ryan Castle.

"In a real estate market like this, it's important to have expert agent representation. Buyers and sellers need a professional on their side to navigate this market when making a significant decision to invest in a new home or sell their current one."
