We May See a Cooler Spring Home-Buying Market, About 73,000
more listings are for sale this year compared to last year. That's because for the fifth month in a row, the number of homes on the market surged 6% in February compared with the same time the year before, recent inventory report. Until last year, the nation had seen several years of housing shortages.
The higher inventories are also driving greater
price cuts, February housing report, released Wednesday.
The median list price rose 7 percent year over year in February to $294,800. But prices are showing signs of cooling. Thirty-nine of the 50 largest housing markets saw an increase in price cuts in February.
As is often the case in real estate, the important trends are going on at the local level. We see large markets continue to cool, but some markets still have some strength. Additionally, we still see fewer homes priced under $200,000 on the market, so entry-level buyers won’t see the same availability of options as high-end buyers.”
