“At the halfway point in the year, our regional residential market has been a consistent performer” said 2019 CTAR President Edward Oswald. “Looking back at 6 months of year-to-date figures, we’ve seen minor fluctuations, but residential sales are tracking very close to where they were last year—we’re at a 2% variance in sales at the end of June” said Oswald. “Median price continues to increase, as you’d expect to see in a market that has an inventory deficit. Demand continues to outpace supply, and affordability issues will continue until that levels out” said Oswald.
