New Home Sales Back in The Range After Uncommonly Big Bounce. The new construction home market returned to the longer-term range last month, with sales seeing their 4th biggest rebound in 4 years.

The latest Washington housing numbers show a market with significantly more inventory but less transaction activity. NWMLS active listings increased nearly 20% year over year in July, while sales declined 3%.

Median prices also edged down 1.5% compared with a year ago. For buyers, that means more homes to choose from, while sellers may need to pay closer attention to pricing and competition.

We break down these trends every week so you can stay ahead of the market and make informed decisions.
