Finding the Perfect Fall Home
Are you up on the latest in real estate trends that could spice up your sales? Realtor.com data for early fall shows sellers still have a hot advantage, but it’s cooling slightly in favor of buyers. What else is registering on the thermometer?
Like a heat wave!
Though typically this time of year inventory and demand peak with the start of the school year, this fall’s inventory is continuing to grow.
Feelin’ hot-hot-hot!
Overall demand is still strong, but real estate trends on median days on the market suggest the market is finding more of a balance. A boon for would-be buyers who had to chill-out on buying a home this spring and summer due to lack of inventory.
Gonna make you sweat:
- The first 3 weeks of August listings inventory grew 3% over July.
- Median list price increased ($233,000) – up 8% year over year.
- Median days on the market increased to 75 days (a shift in favor of buyers).
- The metric is down 6% year over year (translation: the market is hot).
- A 6% month-over-month gain indicates the slower movement of inventory than earlier in the spring and summer.
