The peak of sales activity, the best month to sell, so far this year? The month of May, when 31% of the homes sold. With the increase in inventory brought on in June, the percentage of sales dropped by 10% to 21% in June and to 22% in July. Competition to get sold increased dramatically with the increase in inventory.

The peak of the inventory, thus far, was in June. Will this be the peak of the inventory for single family homes this year? Stayed tuned!
