Home Sales Drop Points To Market Rebalance
There has been a significant drop in home sales in the past couple of months and a new report claims that it could point to a market rebalance. September kicked off the trend with an incredibly large decline in year-over-year home sales.
"There was an 11.6% drop in home sales compared with September 2017, the largest decline since May 2011," according to National Mortgage News.
"However, the median sales price of $241,000 was the highest recorded for any September since the Remax National Housing Report started 10 years ago. This represented an annual increase of 5.6%, more than double the 2.3% price growth seen in the same month between 2016 and 2017."
The report also revealed that there is a possible split between buyers and sellers, which doesn't exactly point to a finite halt in sales. The numbers show more cautious buyers and less folks willing to sell their home, except in markets with heightened turnover.
