State of the Housing Market: Expert Predictions! šŸ”

As we move into the last quarter of 2023, what are the latest stats on the national housing market? 

Hi, Iā€™m Tanja Odzak, eXp Realty, and I help people sell and buy homes here in the East Bay.

I cannot believe we are in the last three months of 2023 and what a wild roller coaster ride this year has been in the housing market. Here is the latest data from the NAR, the National Association of Realtors, for the second quarter of 2023: Existing home sales fell 2.2% over the summer to an annual rate of 4.07 million units sold nationally. Year-over-year sales slumped down 16.6% from last year. However, the medium existing home sale price rose 1.9% from one year ago to $406.700. 

This is mainly due to the inventory shortage driving prices up. According to NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun, ā€œTwo factors are driving current sales activity, inventory availability and mortgage rates, unfortunately both have been unfavorable to buyers looking to purchase.ā€ Nationally unsold inventory sits at a 3.3 month supply at the current sales pace, indicating we are still in a seller’s market with the average days on market for a home at 20 days. Mortgage rates continued to bump up in the second quarter of 2023 putting a strain on buyers purchasing power.
