And as sales have slowed -- inventory levels -- with active listing -- are on the rise -- though still not to levels to cause concern.
Marie reports to Realty Times that "the decline in sales is mostly in homes priced under $300,000.
For the week ending on January 20th, listings saw an average price of $343,000. Homes were selling, however, in an average of 75 days for around $270,000.
She says, "If you have been thinking about buying a home, now is a good time to do it. Interest rates have been rising, but are still at very good levels."
