As we dive into the mid-year market update, it’s clear that the real estate landscape continues to evolve in exciting ways. Despite a noticeable shift in inventory levels, the market remains vibrant and full of opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
Positive Trends in Inventory and Pricing
Over the past six months, the number of active listings has been on the rise, reflecting a 24.7% increase year-over-year. This steady influx of inventory is a welcome change, offering more options for prospective homebuyers. Interestingly, despite this surge in listings, homes continue to sell rapidly, underscoring the ongoing demand in our market.
One of the most promising indicators is the median sold price, which has seen a notable 5.0% increase compared to last July. This uptick demonstrates that despite more homes becoming available, buyers are still willing to invest in properties, pushing prices higher.
Looking Ahead: Exciting Changes on the Horizon
Looking forward, there’s good news on the horizon for the fall season. Mortgage rates are anticipated to decrease, which is expected to stimulate even more activity in the market. This potential drop in rates will likely attract a new wave of buyers and sellers, further energizing the real estate landscape.
