This month's market data, based on February 2022 stats, continued to show a very low inventory resulting in overall lower sales figures, yet maintaining overall average higher sales prices than February 2021 and a continued higher sales to list price ratio. With inventory being so low, the average stats can be greatly influenced by a single transaction in a particular city or town.
