US Existing Home Sales Edge Up | Home Crafting, One Address at the Time
As we move through early Q3, the latest data reveals that US existing-home sales dipped 1.7% month-over-month, yet still edged up 0.7% compared to last year. For homeowners, the median price has now reached $434,100—marking the 37th consecutive month of annual price gains and adding to the equity many are watching grow. Inventory remains tight, ending the period at 1.54 million homes, down both monthly and yearly, making it essential for buyers to keep a close eye on new listings. Interestingly, even with prices on the rise, housing affordability has improved nationally, so well-prepared buyers may find opportunities as value, timing, and selection start to align. With 30-year fixed mortgage rates hovering in the high-6% range, any movement downward could offer even greater support to buyers as summer continues. In both North and South Carolina, I continue to guide clients through these shifting trends, ensuring each step is clear and every decision well-informed.

USA: Why ‘Price Stability’ Is a Myth | Home Crafting, One Address at the Time
Many believe in the promise of ‘price stability’ in the US, but the reality is far more nuanced. When the price of one good rises, another often falls, as our spending simply shifts from one area to another—prices don’t all move in unison. For example, while advances in technology have made devices more affordable, limited luxuries such as hotel rooms, sports tickets, and college tuition have become increasingly expensive. This pattern challenges the idea that central banks can guarantee truly stable prices; after all, every purchase and global supply chain influences what we pay. A steadier dollar might encourage investment that’s currently focused on protecting against inflation, leading to lower prices in some areas while making rare goods even pricier. Ultimately, lasting price stability is elusive—shifting prices can actually signal growth and opportunity throughout our ever-evolving economy. As someone who helps clients navigate changing real estate markets in North and South Carolina, I see firsthand how these broader economic trends shape local opportunities.

Single-Family Home Construction Plunges in July, But Permits Offer Signs of Hope
In July, we saw a significant dip in U.S. single-family home construction—down 9.9% from June and 15.7% from last year. Overall housing starts also slipped by 12.4%. Yet, amid these numbers, there’s a positive signal: building permits actually increased by 5%. This uptick suggests that, even in the face of economic uncertainty and high mortgage rates, there’s underlying optimism about future growth in the market. Navigating these shifts is part of delivering exceptional service to my clients in North and South Carolina. I always keep a close eye on trends like these to help guide you through every step of your real estate journey, whether you’re buying, selling, or simply staying informed.
