Housing Market Insights

Housing affordability is taking a hit, with mortgage payments rising 43.4% year over year, leading to a slowdown in the real estate market. Despite an increase in unsold single-family home inventory, median home prices have reached a new high of $443,000, indicating strong buyer momentum. However, there may be an impending exhaustion among buyers who have been waiting for their opportunity, suggesting a potential final price push before a market correction.
