One Minute Housing Market Video Update: July 2017

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

 

Here's your one minute housing market video update from RE/MAX for July 2017 using June 2017 housing data based on 53 metro areas around the country.

 

June 2017 was a strong month nationally setting post-recession records for sales and home prices. As we enter the second half of the year, the U.S. housing market appears to be on pace for another record year with four of the last six months topping same month sales from 2016. Increased sales and record low inventory slipping to 2.8 months resulted in higher sales prices. June’s median sales price of $245,000, which was up 7.5% over last June, also set a RE/MAX National Housing report record, with prices increasing in 50 of the 53 markets followed for this report.

  • Home sales up 1.4% 
  • Median price of homes sold up 7.5% to $245,000
  • Average days on market were down by 7 days to 47 days
  • Number of homes for sale down 15.2%

 

 

 

Home buyer demand remains strong. There simply are not enough sellers listing their homes, despite rising prices and increasing interest rates.

 

So, is now the right time to sell your Charlotte metro area home? That depends on your motivation. If you'd like to have a quick conversation about that please contact Carolinas Realty Partners with RE/MAX Executive. We'd be delighted to explore the pros and cons of listing your home now versus waiting.

Hi Nina: I'm finding that sellers don't necessarily understand what low inventory or seller's markets means to them until you explain it. Even then some don't really comprehend because it's not a situation they spend time thinking about. Not like we do.

Buyers, too. You can tell buyers: prices are rising and interest rates are going up, and they say something stupid like "maybe we should wait." Wait? Wait for what? To be priced out of the market?

George Souto ~ hi George... there was any doubt in my mind that your market would begin to turn around at some point. Glad it's started for you...

Scott Godzyk ~ hi Scott... we see this sharp decrease in inventory all over the country and I know some areas have less than half a month's worth of inventory which is insane.

Grant Schneider ~ hi Grant... that's a good way to put it that all systems are go... it really feels like the market is rocket heading for outerspace (maybe there's more inventory there! ).

Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents ~ oh yes, Elizabeth... I've run into a few of those myself. This year I have buyers who are kicking themselves and saying they should have listened to me last year. Home prices are up, interest rates are up, inventory is down but their purchase power is where it was last year.

Thanks for sharing Nina...I am finding sales are down because of the lack of inventory to move into...many still overpriced & sellers also who have no idea where to go because there is no downsized home for them!

Ginny Gorman ~ absolutely, Ginny! We are seeing the very same thing here in the Charlotte area. Since price is a factor of supply and demand, it's hard to say that homes are "over-priced." More likely there are buyers who can't qualify for the higher prices.

Lou Ludwig ~ good morning, Lou. The 2017 market is setting records for sure in terms of sales and prices, but let's hope that lack of inventory all over the country doesn't put a halt to the momentum in the second half of the year.
