Rising Prices, Fewer Sales Driven by Record-Breaking Low Inventory. If you are searching for a new home, odds are youโre not finding many homes on the market. If youโre a seller, you might have likely noticed the value of your home is rising – regardless of what area of the country you are located in. The April 2018 Report uses numbers from March 2018.
April 2018 National Housing Report
As per the April 2018 RE/MAX National Housing Report, home prices continued to climb year-over-year for the 24th consecutive month in March, while home sales continued to decline for a fourth consecutive month, making it feel like a sellerโs market in the majority of regions of the us.
โHomebuyers shouldnโt be discouraged by the record-breaking numbers – even with higher prices and closed transactions, this March marks the second-highest in sales in the history of the RE/MAX National Housing Report,โ said RE/MAX CEO Adam Contos. โItโs more important than ever to work with an experienced RE/MAX agent who is invested and involved in their community. They are dialed into the nuances of a neighborhood, making your home search or sale easier and quicker.โ
Whenever the Months Supply of Inventory falls below 6 months, itโs a sellerโs market, and every one of the 54 metro areas surveyed for the monthly housing reported under 6 months of inventory.
โWe also look at the Days on Market as another indicator of tight inventory and the national average stands at 60 days,โ said Contos. โThatโs four days less than a year ago and another March record-breaker.โ
