This new listing activity and reduced demand is showing signs of transitioning from a seller's market to a more neutral one. With the increased variety and decreased competition, those serious about a move are adopting the philosophy of marrying their new home and dating their mortgage. Refinancing is always an option, especially with the historical data of rates dropping after recessions, and buyers have more options now than in recent memory to find their perfect home.

The expert forecasts for the rest of the year are in! General consensus on the current market conditions, namely steady inflation, look relatively predictable for the next 4 months.

With the feverish pace the market has been maintaining over the past couple years, this deflation in demand really aides those still serious about buying. Take a look for yourself:
