By the time August 2020 arrived, the local real estate market had started mounting a terrific reversal from setbacks caused by the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown in the spring of 2020. Accordingly, property values increased in the local real estate market during August 2021, and listing inventory remained tight. However, the dollar volume and transaction numbers did not continue to experience significant gains when comparing 2021 to 2020. More specifically, the total dollar volume of sales in August 2021 increased a modest 4% from August 2020. And, the number of real estate transactions in Summit County in August 2021 actually decreased 29% from the frenzied activity of August 2020.
