BREAKING: The median sales price for a new single-family home fell -$21,600 MoM, or -5.3% in March, to $387,400, the lowest since July 2021.

This marks the biggest monthly decline since November 2024.

After adjusting for inflation, the median real home price fell -6.3% MoM, to the lowest since 2014.

Meanwhile, the average sale price dropped -3.4% MoM in March, to $503,100, the lowest since mid-2025.

As a result, the gap between the median and the average price is up to $115,700, the widest on record.

This suggests a handful of luxury home sales are inflating the average price upward while most Americans are purchasing at significantly lower price points.

The housing market is weakening beneath the surface.
