Inventory: July listings (334) increased 8.8% from June and 21.5% from one year ago. At the current sales pace, all the active inventory on the market would sell in 2.1 months, up from 1.7 in June and up from 1.5 months in July 2021. The equilibrium point where buyers and sellers have roughly equal bargaining power is 4-5 months of supply.

ACRE recommends consulting with a local real estate professional to discuss pricing, as it will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.
