During the first week of October, the U.S. median home price remained near its summer peak of $350,000 and hit record-high growth of 12.9% over last year, showing no signs of the usual fall cool down, according to realtor.com®‘s Weekly Housing Report for the week ending Oct. 3. The decline in the number of homes on the market improved slightly this week, which may be evidence of high prices enticing more sellers to stay in the market.
“While buyers would normally begin to hunker down this time of year, we expect to see an unusually high number remain in the market this fall,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist at realtor.com®. “This gives sellers a rare opportunity to get top dollar for their home outside of the prime selling season, which may be motivating some to stay in the market. However, even with record breaking prices, we’re not seeing sellers rush into the market with the same eagerness as buyers. Looking forward, a key question is whether this frenzied demand will continue into the spring or if we’ll see more balance between home buyers and sellers.”
