Is a Market Shift Beginning in Eugene and Springfield?
Good Monday Morning!
Is the Eugene and Springfield area at the beginning of a market shift?
Our area has been in a strong seller's market for years. A seller’s market is defined as a housing market with less than 6 months of inventory available. A very strong seller's market is where there are 3 months or less of home inventory.
Currently, we remain in a seller's market with only 2.9 months of active inventory. Things are beginning to change, though. The home inventory numbers are creeping up slowly, there seems to be less buyer interest, and price reductions are coming back.
All of this is taking place at a time of year when our local market typically begins to heat up. The fact that home prices continue to rise and mortgage interest rates have remained high is just another part of what we are seeing in the market today.
It's too early to say whether we are seeing a true market shift or not, but the next few months will tell the story.
