Listings are gradually coming down, now at 8387 today--we were at over 9200 just a couple of weeks ago. Listings are going the 'right' way, which should translate into stabilizing prices, creating that elusive BALANCED MARKET. Right now it is a buyers market--loads of selection and negotiating power is with buers, though Sellers are hanging tight to their asking prices and I have not seen a huge drop in prices.
