"This is a promising start to 2019. For sellers, the average price of a home has increased over 100% since 2009. For buyers, sales activity has slowed, the number of new listings has increased, and we are sitting firm in a balanced market. The January numbers have picked up since the downturn we experienced in December." - RAHB CEO George O'Neil.
