Buyers are struggling just a wee bit, the median listing price for homes nationwide reached an all-time record in June, realtor.com® reports. List prices soared to a median of $299,000 this month, as a shortage of homes for sale and high buyer demand continued to push asking prices higher.
Us living in the bay area know that $299,000 would be a dream come true, but this is a NATIONWIDE number, the bay area’s median is close to a million but anyways let us move on.
“Limited options, fast-selling properties, and escalating home prices have been a persistent challenge for would-be buyers,” realtor.com® notes in its June 2018 monthly housing trend report.
On average, homes sold in 54 days in June. Inventories increased 4 percent month over month, which is a typical seasonal increase, the report notes. On an annual basis, however, inventory is 4 percent lower.
Of the 100 largest markets, the following six saw listings spend 30 days or less on the market on average:
“The pace of sales in the early days of summer continues to be as fierce and unforgiving as it’s ever been, especially for entry-level buyers,” says Javier Vivas, director of economic research for realtor.com®. “On the bright side, buyers saw more new listings hit the market than they saw last June, causing inventory to drop at a slower rate. However, much of the new inventory is composed of higher-priced, newer and larger homes, forcing a very hungry pool of buyers to adjust their budgets.”

File this question under “it depends.” It’s true that loans with down payments of 20 percent or more cost borrowers less over time than low
San Francisco, I feel like I don’t even have to say that it’s expensive and unaffordable for the average person, I’m sure the whole country
If you’re beginning to venture down the road to independence, chances are high you’ll have to take out a loan at some point. Did you
