Weekly Market Activity Report For Week Ending May 28, 2016

The trends of higher sales and fewer homes for sale that prevailed through the first quarter of 2016 have only gotten stronger through the second quarter. Although more sellers are listing than at this time last year, it's still not quite enough to keep up with the heat of today's sales environment. Buyers appear to be making great offers ahead of any hint of higher mortgage rates.

• New Listings increased 2.5% to 1,734
• Pending Sales increased 18.6% to 1,597
