<p>2020 was the shock year. Appointments surged almost +30% YoY, and efficiency snapped to half. Pandemic urgency + low rates = buyers</p>
<p>2021 softened. Activity dipped slightly and the index worsened back to 17. Buyers came out but were choosier.</p>
<p>2022 slowdown. Appointments fell again (down -21%), but efficiency improved a touch. Fewer buyers, but those who showed up were serious.</p>
<p>2023 rebound. Appointments jumped back nearly +23%, efficiency got better (12.2). Market was adjusting to rates, but demand showed resilience.</p>
<p>2024 pullback. Activity fell -20%, a hangover year. Efficiency held steady at 12.</p>
<p>2025 stabilization. Appointments climbed +11%, and efficiency tightened to 11, the best balance since 2020.</p>
<p>2025 is the first time since the pandemic boom that we&rsquo;ve got healthy activity and efficient conversion happening together. Buyers are showing up, and they&rsquo;re not wasting time. That combination hasn&rsquo;t been seen in 5 years.</p>

<p>This week in August shows strong signs of quality market activity especially compared with the same weeks in previous years.</p>
<p>1. New Listings at 329 are actually one of the higher August figures we&rsquo;ve seen, second only to 2023.</p>
<p>2. Sales at 284 are the highest for this week in at least the last 5 years.&nbsp; Buyers who are actively searching are more committed right now.</p>
<p>3. Appointments Booked are at 2,924, which is lower than any year since 2019. That&rsquo;s a noticeable slowdown in buyer activity.</p>
<p>4. Appointment/Sold Index at 10.3 is the lowest by far in the entire dataset, meaning each sale required fewer appointments. This is often a sign of serious, motivated buyers and well-priced listings.</p>
<p>The combination of slightly low buyer traffic, high sales, and low appointment/sold ratio, suggests a shift from browsing to decisive buying. Which could be attributed to price stabilization or fewer casual buyers.</p>

<p>We are in what&rsquo;s called a &lsquo;Hot Week&rsquo;, and it&rsquo;s not just the weather.
