I think that it's too early to say things are shifting back to normal. We are still facing record-high unemployment rates, significant government aid and uncertainty throughout the business community. This will continue in the coming months. Some of the recent real estate gains reflect the action of the people who didn't purchase anything in April and May.

Here are a few numbers showing year-to-date real estate activity:

• Total sales are 15% lower.
• New listings are 13% lower.
• The inventory of homes for sale is down 13%.
• Months of supply, which is the amount of time to sell the inventory with the current demand, increased by 2.4% to 5 months.
• The sale to list price ratio dropped very slightly from 96.6% to 96.35%.
• The median price of $407,000 in 2020 was down1.8% from 414,500 in 2019.
• The average sale price of $451,832 was down 2.1% from $461,458 last year.
• 48% of all sales were sales of properties under $500,000.
