Berkshire Realtors Market Watch:
By Sandy Carroll, CEO of Berkshire Realtors.
"The inventory of Berkshire County residential inventory of homes on the market follows seasonal patterns each year. In 2020, there was a blip when the pandemic hit and sales stalled, yet the market quickly rebounded. With huge demand, inventory levels fell to near historic lows. While the market is correcting and REALTORS report fewer bidding wars, cautious buyers and more adjustments in listing prices and appraisal values, we still note an overall lack of inventory of homes for our workforce."
