The Lawhead Team would like to share the latest HomeDex Report for May.
The housing market continues to stay competitive according to the latest HomeDex Report for North County San Diego attached and detached homes:
Just like last year at this time, prospective home buyers should expect a competitive housing market for the next several months. With payrolls trending upward and unemployment trending downward month after month in an extensive string of positive economic news, demand remains quite strong.
Given the fact that gradually rising mortgage rates often infuse urgency to get into a new home before it costs more later, buyers need to remain watchful of new listings and make their offers quickly.
Closed Sales decreased 18.4 percent for Detached homes and 17.0 percent for Attached homes. Pending Sales decreased 5.9 percent for Detached homes and 3.4 percent for Attached homes.
The Median Sales Price was up 4.0 percent to $728,000 for Detached homes and 10.0 percent to $480,000 for Attached homes. Days on Market decreased 7.1 percent for Detached homes and 19.0 percent for Attached homes.
Supply increased 8.3 percent for Detached homes and 14.3 percent for Attached homes.
Although home sales may actually drop in year-over-year comparisons over the next few months, that has more to do with low inventory than a lack of buyer interest. As lower days on market and higher prices persist year after year, one might rationally expect a change in the outlook for residential real estate, yet the current situation has proven to be remarkably sustainable likely due to stronger fundamentals in home loan approvals than were in place a decade ago.
