According to Richard Haggerty, CEO of OneKey MLS, there is a lack of inventory leading to the current market conditions. “If we can point to anything keeping sellers in place, it’s the current interest rates. There simply isn’t strong enough motivation for sellers to list their properties.” He continued, “After the extremely dynamic swing of the market since 2019, returning to a state of normalcy is clearly a challenge.”
