Residen al real estate has finally taken some meaningful strides toward recovery, and they’ve all been self‐powered without divine (or governmental) interven on. Yes, there have been some head fakes in the past, but there's real reason to believe that market turnaround awaits us. Beyond home prices, key metrics to watch include Days on Market, Percent of List Price Received and Months Supply of Inventory. Locally, several indicators showed

improvement. Let's see what the rest of our local data has to say. New Lis ngs in the Charlo e region decreased 0.8 percent to 4,109. Pending Sales were up 8.9 percent to 2,506.
