📈 Mid-May Market Trends
At this point in the season, we’re seeing:
- Continued buyer activity, especially from relocation and military moves
- A steady number of new listings entering the market

- Faster movement on well-priced, move-in-ready homes
Mid-May often represents a transition point—from peak spring activity into a more refined early summer market.
