We still are having a low percent of new listings being SOLD. Currently (4.22)% on a year over year, YTD comparison and we need positive % of listings sold, with positive price action to confirm market bottom.
Please see data below.
PRICE ACTION
Other good signs in addition to positive price action is lower DOM (days of the market) and lower new listings.
SUMMARY
Currently we are not seeing the needed positive price action to confirm a market bottom. This is NOT a good time for conservative buyers to purchase. High risk tolerant investors and speculators are doing some bottom fishing.
For more details or just to chat about market conditions please feel free to contact me.
Thank you

Mark, it sounds like it might be OK for people with a buy and hold strategy, both owner/occupants and investors.
Mark I hope you see continued improvement in your market. Hopefully the fact that interest rates are at historic lows will be an additional help.
Patricia,
I think it can be the right time for some depending on their goals. Everyone's situation is unique.
Bill,
Interest rates definitely have help the affordability factor and that should help the market recover.
