RE/MAX July 2017 National Housing Report:
June 2017 Housing Data
The RE/MAX National Housing Report for July 2017: "First Half of 2017 Ends with Record Sales, Prices" was this month's headline.
According to the July 2017 National Housing Report From Re/MAX: "Halfway through 2017, the U.S. housing market is on pace for another record year as four of the last six months have topped same month sales from 2016" was the story of the month.
To quote Adam Contos, RE/MAX Co-CEO: “Sellers continue to benefit from limited inventory, getting top-dollar for their homes, and as a result, overall sales are at a record high. But buyers shouldn’t be discouraged. Mortgage rates are still relatively low and the market may be taking a positive turn, albeit subtle, as recent Labor Department data showed a decline in open construction jobs which could mean more workers focused on new home builds.”
