What do these numbers all mean? March is when we being to see the market pick up. Listings are not all that plentiful, so there are still many multiple offer situations which tend to drive the prices up. As with last month, sellers seem to be pricing their homes more reasonably, indicated by the fact that listing and selling prices are very close to the same amount.
