The Red Forecast

As we head into the fourth quarter, we can expect home sales volumes to be lower than the Spring and Summer
season like they are most years. September did fall off a little more than previous months compared to the same
month of 2017, but the year to date sales are about the same at 1% more than last year. Predictions were that
2018 was going to look a lot like 2017 which is turning out to be the case. I would expect the normal seasonal
decreases through winter and then traffic/sales to pick back up after the first of the year as we head into a busy
Spring season.
