The average sale price for single family homes was up from the prior month, but condos fell; single families rose slightly to $184,826 while condos fell to $118,797. Interest rates for conventional loans once again fell below the 4% range after a brief climb above it, and CHFA rates (for first time home buyers) also fell back to its yearly low of 3.125 percent.
