The problem with rising inventory and lower sales volumes will be a challenge for the market heading into the colder seasons – which usually are paired with less activity in all segments. A total of 6,861 units were in market inventory last month, with attached and apartment-style properties seeing the largest gains on record for September.

This rise has prevented further price recoveries, but should be expected speaking from a historical standpoint where housing benchmarks did not recover until further economic improvements were made.
