U.S. Home Sales highest in the past decade
Do you remember how crazy the market was in 2006 – 2007? Home sales and home prices were incredibly high by historical standards right before the big crash in 2008.

The numbers are backed by a truly strong economy which means we are now seeing the beginning or end of a bubble or a potential bursting of that bubble.
March Numbers
In March, the annual median price of a home was $236,400, up 6.8 percent from March 2016. The overall housing inventory increased by 5.8 percent to 1.83 million existing homes for sale, but was still down by nearly 7 percent compared to a year ago, NAR said.
The unsold inventory was at a 3.8-months supply, which was unchanged from February. The annual pace of sales was up over last year in all regions; However, sales declined over the month in the West region, which has seen the fastest price gains.
