National Real Estate Market
On a national level, home prices are up 0.4% from last month and up 4.9% from the same time last year.
There has definitely been a slowing down of home prices and home sales over the last few months. Much of the market deceleration can be attributed to the increase in the number of homes recently added to the market, giving buyers more homes to choose from while stabilizing prices.
The average home sale price is $222,900; prices are still 11.9% below their peak in April of 2006.
The sharp home price rise of 2013 was in many ways welcome, as it helped millions of Americans get out from being underwater on their mortgages. If home prices were to continue rising at that same pace, consumers would find home prices rising faster than their incomes, thus drastically reducing affordability.
That’s all for now! Enjoy this gorgeous fall weather, and as always, I’m here if you have any real estate needs!
