In summary:
Single family prices down for two months in a row…. Hmmm. Yet single family homes are still up 12% from this time last year.
Condo prices back up. Nothing noteworthy with that, condo prices fluctuate a lot more than single family prices do.
With September being, historically, the highest volume home sales month of the year, I will wait until we can look at the September sales data until I make a prediction of we are finally stabilizing in prices or if we just saw a seasonal slump.
