Summary

A tight and picked-over supply of available homes continues to challenge buyers—many have been looking for over a year. The limited inventory quality is also restricting price increases, which will gain momentum as fresh new inventory arrives and heats up buyer competition for this year’s best new listings. Year-to-date average sale price and price per square foot are up 8% and 12%. Average market times bottomed out at 17 days last May and June. They doubled to 34 by December but are again falling at a pace that should have them below 17 by May of this year. Expect fierce spring competition as this year’s new buyers and last year’s carryover buyers compete to grab fresh new listings as quickly as they arrive and before interest rates can make more of a move.
