🚨 The housing market isn't dead. The headlines just aren't telling the whole story.
The National Association of Realtors just released its June housing report, and here's what stood out to me:
🏡 Median home price reached a record $440,600
📈 Home prices have increased year over year for 36 straight months
👥 First time buyers made up 33% of all purchases, up from 30% last year
📝 Pending sales continue to strengthen, showing buyers are still making moves
📉 Inventory remains tight, with only a modest 1.3% increase from a year ago after much stronger growth earlier in 2025.
So what does this mean?
If you're a seller, you're still sitting in a market where inventory is limited and well priced homes continue to attract buyers.
If you're a buyer, don't let the headlines convince you that everyone is waiting. They aren't. Buyers are adjusting to today's market, wages have been growing faster than home prices, and mortgage rates are slightly lower than they were a year ago.
Every market is different, and real estate is local. National numbers are important, but what matters most is what's happening right here in Northeast Indiana.
If you've been wondering whether now is the right time to buy or sell, let's look at your specific situation instead of relying on scary headlines.
