April 2017 Re/Max National Housing Report
Home sales were 6.6 percent higher than the nine-year-old report’s previous March record set in 2016. Thirty-eight of the 53 metro areas in the report showed year-over-year increases Months Supply of Inventory dropped below three months for the first time in the history of the report, indicating a market that greatly favors sellers, as six months is considered a balanced market. Active inventory continued to decline, dropping 17 percent year-over-year. As a result, the Median Sales Price of $225,000—also a March record—was up 11 percent year-over-year. This was the 12th consecutive month of year-over-year price increases. Homes continued selling faster last month, with the average Days on Market dropping to 64, compared to 68 in February 2017 and 71 in March 2016.
“We expect a seasonal uptick in sales this time of year and March certainly met and somewhat exceeded that expectation,” said Dave Liniger, Re/Max CEO, chairman of the board and co-founder, in a statement. “We don’t anticipate the tightening inventory to ease up in most markets until new home construction can catch up to its pre-recession pace. Until then, sellers will enjoy a fast-paced market and buyers will need to work with their agents to get in the right home.”
