"While home sale activity remains below long-term averages, we saw an increase in sales in July compared to the less active spring we experienced. Those looking to buy today continue to benefit from low interest rates, increased selection, and reduced prices compared to the heated market a few years ago." Ashley Smith, REBGV president
