The Association of Interior REALTORS® President Chelsea Mann goes over the decline in market activity over the last month.
“Seasonally, it is characteristic to see sales activity cool during the hot summer months, which given the slight dip from activity in June, isn’t surprising,” says the Association of Interior REALTORS® President Chelsea Mann, adding that “it is promising to see some typical market activity despite high interest rate hikes creating a challenging climate for buyers and sellers.”
