The dynamics of new listings and inventory levels also provide key insights into the market. Although there was a slight decrease in new listings with 937 in 2024 compared to 979 in 2023, this 4.29% drop hasn’t dampened the market enthusiasm, as evidenced by the rising sales and prices. It may, however, indicate a tightening market with fewer new properties becoming available, potentially leading to increased competition among buyers.
