Here's your one minute housing market video update from RE/MAX for August 2017 using July 2017 housing data based on 54 metro areas around the country.
July 2017 was a strong month nationally with homes selling at a faster rate than any month in nearly a decade, despite a slight decrease in closed sales. As we entered the second half of the year, the U.S. housing market appeared to be on pace for another record year. Low inventory resulted in higher sales prices. Year-over-year, inventory has declined every month since November 2008 and the months supply of nventory hovered at 3.1 months, a new July low.
- Home sales down 0.8%
- Median price of homes sold up 7.4% to $239,500
- Average days on market were down by 8 days to 45 days
- Number of homes for sale down 14.1%
