Interesting shift happening in the housing market ๐๐ก
Inventory is up, homes are sitting a little longer, and buyers are finally getting a bit more breathing room again.
Palm Springs & Other Desert Cities has always been more than just real estate though ๐ด
People buy the lifestyle here โ sunshine, architecture, pools, mountain views, and a certain feeling.

The housing market is shifting in buyers' favor. Active inventory is up 8.9% compared to last year, home prices have fallen 2.4%, the biggest weekly drop on record since Realtor.com started tracking in 2018, and homes are taking six days longer to sell.
