April Snapshot
An overview of new listings, accepted offers, closed sales, price reductions, listings expired or withdrawn (without selling), and listings that came back on market (expired/ withdrawn listings that were re-listed, and accepted offers that fell through). The number of closed sales mostly reflects accepted-offer activity in February and March, which is the main reason for the discrepancy between the quantity of accepted offers and closed sales in April — the other reason being deals that fall through after offer acceptance. (Deals typically fail due to either financing or inspection issues.) Price reduction and back-on-market data are approximations. A single property can be included in more than one category within the same month.
