September 2021 Housing Market Update

www.preferredprop.com

Nationwide, existing home sales were down slightly in August, falling 2% after two consecutive months of increases, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. The decline in existing home sales coincides with rising sales prices, which have continued to soar into fall, with the median sales price of existing homes up 14.9% compared to last year. Declining affordability has had a significant impact on homebuyers, many of whom have been priced out of the market and are choosing to wait for sales prices to ease before resuming their home search.

New Listings were down in the Asheville region by 0.2 percent to 1,406. Pending Sales increased 4.9 percent to 1,416. Inventory shrank 36.8 percent to 1,998 units.

There are signs the market may be shifting, however. As inventory increases, competition for homes may soften, and could even bring a moderation in sales prices, which, after 114 months of year-over-year gains, would be music to the ears of homebuyers throughout the country.
