Weekly Market Activity Report For Week Ending November 11, 2017

During the final two months of the year, residential real estate traditionally slows
down to make way for more holiday, travel and retail spending. Assessing the
dominant trend of 2017, most housing markets have seen the number of homes for
sale decrease in year-over-year comparisons. So much so, that further decreases in
2018 will be newsworthy, as prices would likely keep rising in a seller's market.
Presently, in a thriving economy with low unemployment, agents and consumers
alike still have reason for optimism.

 • New Listings decreased 7.6% to 924
