MARKET ACTIVITY
Weekly Market Activity Report
 
"The spring of 2018 has exhibited weather patterns that many will not soon forget. Professional baseball games are getting canceled due to snow, vacations are being delayed by grounded flights and the usual rush that takes place in the housing market when the names of months get shorter is maintaining a more even pace. Given continued heightened buyer demand brought on by more household formations and higher wages, temperance may well be a good thing for market health." VIEW REPORT
