As the weather warms and pandemic restrictions ease across much of the country, the U.S. housing market shows little sign of cooling. Robust buyer demand, fueled by low mortgage rates, continues to outpace supply, which remains near historic lows. Nationwide, inventory remains much lower than it was at this time last year, and sales prices are surging as a result.
New Listings increased 4.7 percent for Single Family and 0.9 percent for Townhouse/Condo. Pending Sales increased 6.0 percent for Single Family and 24.8 percent for Townhouse/Condo. Inventory decreased 61.0 percent for Single Family and 67.3 percent for Townhouse/Condo.
Median Sales Price increased 31.8 percent to $329,500 for Single Family and 29.2 percent to $206,000 for Townhouse/Condo. Days on Market decreased 56.7 percent for Single Family and 63.0 percent for Townhouse/Condo. Months Supply of Inventory decreased 64.7 percent for
Single Family and 76.5 percent for Townhouse/Condo.
With such a limited supply of existing homes to purchase, all eyes are on home builders to provide a much-needed boost of inventory to the market to help meet buyer demand. However, increasing material and labor costs, along with supply chain challenges, have contributed to significantly higher construction costs, with builders passing these costs on to homebuyers.
And while the warmer temperatures, rising sales prices, and the reopening of the economy may draw more sellers to the market, historically low levels of homes for sale are likely to continue for some time.
These numbers can be positive or negative depending on which side of the fence you are on… Buyer or Seller?
