“Overall, sales activity was below typical May levels likely due to buyers sitting on the sidelines as mortgage interest rates continue to rise. In May, the residential average sale price also dipped marginally from the previous month to $995,408, just below the million dollar mark, for the first time this year after holding steady since January 2022. However, as increased inventory comes to the market, buyers have more selection, which may also lend to further negotiation power.” - RAHB President Lou Piriano.
