Roy experienced the smallest decline in number of homes sold. That being said, the number of Roy homes sold still decreased 24%. There is a healthy 7.42 months of inventory and 245 active homes in Roy listed. Median sold price saw a small decrease of 1.39% and average sold price saw a decrease of 4.8%.

We need Positive Price Action to confirm market bottom. One month of price improve isn't sufficient to confirm the market bottom. We need to see appreciation month over month for three months.

PRICE ACTION

Other good signs in addition to positive price action is lower DOM (days of the market), lower new listings and higher percent of new listings being SOLD.

We are seeing the risk indictor move from High to Medium range. This still is NOT a good time for those with low and/or no risk tolerance to purchase.

A strong case can be made that those who are looking for a home for their family with plans to stay long term. Why not buy now? Especially if the numbers make sense, i.e. Owning vs. Renting. Even, if the market retracts more (which is extremely likely) in the future. Between the coming market bounce and future normal cycle of appreciation, buying now might make sense. Why not make an informed buying or waiting decision?

High and medium risk tolerant buyers are making buying decisions at this time.

Those waiting for a market bottom confirmation will (almost always) miss the bottom. This is because confirming factors are lagging indicators. Thus making it extremely (if not impossible) difficult to time any market bottom, in combination with the majority of home buyers afraid to purchase at this time. I believe we will see an un-preceded pent up demand at the market bottom that will cause a bounce in home prices.
