Start of school cools fall housing market…for now

The Claremont September real estate market cooled it’s pace for the first time this year. However, that doesn’t mean the market isn’t still hot. As schools get back in session, and people prepare themselves for the holidays ahead, the market will typically experience a slowdown in sales activity. But prices are still holding strong, with continued (though now more modest) gains. Interest rates have dipped back down just over 4 percent, which should keep up buyer demand and make for an interesting holiday season ahead.
