An outlier in the industry, Matt Slowik is a refreshingly different kind of realtor. Yes, he’s detail oriented, data driven, and exceedingly knowledgeable, but he also possesses a natural equanimity not commonly seen in the real estate game. It’s this laidback, levelheaded composure that makes him a breeze to work with.
The January sales statistics illustrated in this report reflect the very slow holiday market of December and early January when the offers were negotiated: This is why January typically sees the lowest sales volume of the year and very weak standard measurements of demand. These figures are of limited value as indicators of what the new year’s housing market will look like and can be expected to shift rapidly in coming months as listing and sales activity surge. Last year, the spring market was negatively affected by the tariff shock. Barring new economic alarms, the upcoming spring market should be much stronger.
