- Is it a buyer's or seller's market in Shelby?
- Shelby currently has about 9.1 months of inventory — 146 active listings against a recent pace of roughly 16.0 sales a month. As a rule of thumb the industry reads under six months as favouring sellers and over six as favouring buyers, but that is a guideline, not a verdict on any one house.
