Analysis of MLS Area 350 for condos: This MLS Area shifted from a balanced market to a buyers market over the course of the last four weeks and the fundamentals that created this shift have continued last week.

This area has been absorbing 12 listings a month for three weeks in a row until two weeks ago when it went down to 11 and has remained there for five weeks in a row.
