Market Outlook
Chris Lim, President and Chief Growth Officer at REMAX, commented on the market’s trajectory. "March’s increase in sales is a signal that buyers and sellers are re-engaging as the spring market gets underway," Lim stated. He added, "At the same time, moderate price growth and inventory changes could signal the pace is becoming more deliberate, pointing to a housing market that’s shifting toward balance rather than momentum. This suggests the next phase of the housing market being defined less by speed and more by precision."
