The US housing market began the year in a state of rebalance, with many buyers and sellers remaining cautious while they wait to see where the market is headed. Nationally, pending sales rose 2.5% month-to-month, marking the first increase since May, while sales of existing homes fell 1.5% as of last measure, according to the National Association of Realtors®
(NAR). Demand for housing persists, but higher mortgage interest rates have cut into housing affordability, with total home sales down 17.8% last year compared to 2021.
New Listings decreased 13.4 percent for Single Family and 3.0 percent for Townhouse/Condo. Pending Sales decreased 23.3 percent for Single Family and 13.6 percent for Townhouse/Condo. Inventory increased 67.1 percent for Single Family and 95.5 percent for Townhouse/Condo.
Median Sales Price increased 2.9 percent to $359,900 for Single Family and 14.7 percent to $252,250 for Townhouse/Condo. Days on Market increased 104.2 percent for Single Family and 71.4 percent for Townhouse/Condo. Months Supply of Inventory increased 120.0 percent for Single Family and 150.0 percent for Townhouse/Condo.
As sales slow, time on market is increasing, with the average home spending 26 days on market as of last measure, according to NAR. Seller concessions have made a comeback, giving buyers more time and negotiating power when shopping for a home. Although home prices remain high, mortgage rates declined steadily throughout January, falling to their lowest level since September, sparking a recent surge in mortgage demand. Lower rates should aid in affordability and may soon lead to an uptick in market activity ahead of the spring selling season.
These numbers can be positive or negative depending on which side of the fence you are on… Buyer or Seller?
