During the first quarter of 2017, housing affordability has clearly become an issue
for some buyers, as prices continue to rise amidst strong demand. Even so,
pending sales figures have generally remained positive across the nation. A better
balance between high-price inventory and starter homes being sold would be the
most beneficial situation for the marketplace.

• New Listings increased 6.3% to 1,584
