In July 2020 we had an all-time record high for home sales (partially resulting from closing delays due to Covid issues last year), and even though sales were down slightly from last year, we come in a close second at 1,844 homes sold. We are also still seeing rising homes prices. The average price remained just above the $500k threshold at $500,430, up 17% from last July. The median price tied last month at $450,000 which is up 19.4% from last year. We are still seeing double-digit price increases year-over-year. Even with rising prices, there may finally be a glimmer of hope for buyers. As of August 4th, there are 924 homes for sale. While this is still down from last July, it is the first month since September 2020 that we have over 900 homes for sale! Make no mistake, this is still a very tight inventory with barely a 2-week supply of homes. Demand has not waned with 1,844 homes sold last month. The average selling price was 4.5% over asking price, indicating that many buyers are still paying over list price to win a home. Most experts agree that home prices will continue to rise throughout the rest of the year, but at some point home appreciation will slowly moderate to a much more sustainable level as supply increases.
