The April market stats are in and sales were down but the market was up! Sales were down because inventory is still low but pricing continues to be very strong because there are still a large number of buyers in the market.
We are seeing a change in the market however, for the first time in a long time. Continue watching Terry below to find out what that is and what you should do if you are a buyer or seller.
