US Existing Home Sales Edge Up | Your Full Time Professional REALTOR
I always keep an eye on the latest housing trends to help my clients make informed decisions, and here’s a snapshot from Early-Q3: US existing-home sales dipped 1.7% month-over-month, but still edged up 0.7% from last year, showing a steady pace through the summer. The median existing-home price reached $434,100, continuing an impressive 37-month streak of annual price growth—something that has given many homeowners even more equity to track. Inventory remains tight, finishing Early-Q3 at 1.54 million homes (down 1.9% from last month and 0.6% from last year), which means buyers need to stay on top of new listings as they appear. Even with rising prices, housing affordability has improved nationally, and for buyers who are prepared, this can be a window of opportunity as value, timing, and available options begin to line up. Mortgage rates on a 30-year fixed loan are holding in the high-6% range, so any future easing could offer buyers a bit more flexibility as we move through the remainder of the summer market. As always, I’m here to provide straightforward, local insight and help you navigate these shifts with confidence.
