B次元官网网址淭he month of May marks the highest number of sales weB次元官网网址檝e seen since April of last year,B次元官网网址 said Victoria Real Estate Board chair Graden Sol, in a statement. B次元官网网址淲hile we havenB次元官网网址檛 seen the number of total sales we would expect in a spring market, the month of May marks the fourth consecutive month with sales higher than the month previous. With momentum building, thereB次元官网网址檚 an indication of consumer optimism in the market heading into June. However, if the ongoing lack of homes for sale persists and inventory is not added, we risk a return to an overheated market with pressure on pricing.B次元官网网址
