By the time October 2020 arrived, the local real estate market had completed a significant turnaround 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 October 2021, and listing inventory continued to remain scarce. And, the dollar volume and transaction numbers did not continue to mount ever-increasing gains when comparing 2021 to 2020. More specifically, the total dollar volume of sales in October 2021 increased 20% from October 2020. However, the number of real estate transactions in Summit County in October 2021 actually decreased 26% from the frenzied activity of October 2020.
