🏡 Rhode Island Real Estate Market Trends
The Rhode Island housing market remains competitive, with low inventory driving home prices upward.

🔹 Market Activity: Total home sales are up 5% year-over-year, showing that buyers are still actively competing despite rising home values.
🔹 Condo Market Boom: Condominiums have seen a 34% increase in value, now averaging over $500,000, as more buyers seek lower-maintenance housing options.
