Top takeaways

Mortgage rates eased again nationally, improving payment math for local buyers.
Recent sales data shows prices up year-over-year, but homes are still taking roughly 2+ months to go under contract on average.
Inventory is not huge, yet it is enough that well-priced homes stand out and over-priced listings can linger.
