<p></p>
<blockquote><p><em style="color: rgb(13, 13, 13);">“Inventory levels are still at historic lows. </em><strong style="color: rgb(13, 13, 13);"><em>Consequently, multiple offers are returning on a good number of properties</em></strong><em style="color: rgb(13, 13, 13);">.”</em></p></blockquote>

<p></p>
<blockquote><p><em>“We have not seen the traditional uptick in new listings from existing homeowners, so </em><strong><em>undersupply of housing will continue to heighten market competition and put pressure on prices in most regions</em></strong><em>.</em> <em>Some markets are already heating up considerably, but price premiums that we saw last spring and summer are unlikely.”</em></p></blockquote>
