"While home sales declined in April, the market is getting more competitive as we're seeing time on the market before selling down to 20 days in April from 33 days in January and the share of homes sold above asking price double from one in five at the beginning of the year to more than two in five in April," said CAR President Jennifer Branchini.
"This increase in market competition continued to provide support to the statewide median home price in April, which climbed above $800,000 for the first time in six months."
