RE\/MAX National Housing Report for November 2018<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
Extremely Low Inventory Improves as Sales Drop for Fourth Month.<\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
 <\/div>\n
\n

Years of shrinking inventory gave way in November to a second consecutive month of year-over-year growth in the number of homes for sale, according to the RE\/MAX National Housing Report<\/a>. The apparent reason: Home sales declined for the fourth consecutive month when compared to the same months in 2017. Even so, home prices remained strong.<\/p>\n

Across the 53 metro areas surveyed, inventory rose 3.0% \u2013 the highest monthly year-over-year gain in the 10-year history of the report, following October\u2019s 1.0% increase that ended a streak of 119 months of year-over-year declines dating back to November 2008. The Months Supply of Inventory rose to 3.9, the highest for any month since 4.2 in December 2016.<\/p>\n

November home sales, meanwhile, declined 6.9%, which was the second-largest year-over-year decline of 2018 and the biggest year-over-year sales decline for November in five years. This year only April and July sales exceeded 2017 totals for the corresponding months.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe road to market normalization can be bumpy,\u201d said RE\/MAX CEO Adam Contos. \u201cIt\u2019s good to see the small uptick in inventory, and the drop in November sales isn\u2019t too surprising \u2013 given the recent trends, the mid-term elections, and the earlier-than-usual Thanksgiving holiday. As we near year-end, three main themes appear clear \u2013 buyers are grappling with affordability issues and tight inventory; sellers are unsure how to react to the cooling market; and homes priced properly are still selling rather quickly. All three underscore the fact that the guidance of a professional agent is even more critical in times like these.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

November\u2019s Median Sales Price of $235,000 was 4.0% higher than November 2017 and was the highest November price in the report\u2019s history. It marked the 32nd consecutive month of year-over-year price increases. Comparing the first 11 months of 2018 to 2017, home prices are up 6.0%.<\/p>\n

Even with declining sales, homes sold at record speed for November. Homes spent an average of 51 Days on Market, compared to the previous November low of 54 days set last year.<\/p>\n

Closed Transactions<\/strong>
Of the 53 metro areas surveyed in November 2018, the overall average number of home sales is down 10.1% compared to October 2018, and down 6.9% compared to November 2017. Nine of the 53 metro areas experienced an increase in sales year-over-year, including Burlington, VT, +8.8%, Albuquerque, NM, +6.8%, New Orleans, LA, +5.4% and Tampa, FL, +5.1%.<\/p>\n

Median Sales Price \u2013 Median of 53 metro median prices<\/strong>
In November 2018, the median of all 53 metro Median Sales Price was $235,000, equivalent to October 2018, and up 4.0% from November 2017. Only two metro areas saw a year-over-year decrease in Median Sales Price: Honolulu, HI, -3.2%, and Birmingham, AL, -0.7%. Three metro areas increased year-over-year by double-digit percentages: Boise, ID, +18.2%, Las Vegas, NV, +12.2%, and Wichita, KS, +11.4%. Days on Market \u2013 Average of 53 metro areas The average Days on Market for homes sold in November 2018 was 51, up three days from the average in October 2018, and down three days from the November 2017 average. The metro areas with the lowest Days on Market were Omaha, NE, at 26; San Francisco, CA, at 31; Boise, ID, and Nashville, TN, both at 33; and at 34, Salt Lake City, UT, Denver, CO, and Las Vegas, NV. The highest Days on Market averages were in Augusta, ME, at 110, Hartford, CT, at 90, and at 78, Chicago, IL, and Miami, FL. Days on Market is the number of days between when a home is first listed in an MLS and a sales contract is signed.<\/p>\n

Months Supply of Inventory \u2013 Average of 53 metro areas<\/strong>
The number of homes for sale in November 2018 was down 7.1% from October 2018 and up 3.0% from November 2017. Based on the rate of home sales in November, the Months Supply of Inventory increased to 3.9 from 3.5 in October 2018, and increased compared to November 2017 at 3.6. A six-month supply indicates a market balanced equally between buyers and sellers. In November 2018, all of the 53 metro areas surveyed except Miami, FL, at 9.0, and Augusta, ME, at 7.0, reported a months supply at or less than six, which is typically considered a seller\u2019s market. The markets with the lowest Months Supply of Inventory were, at 2.0, San Francisco, CA, Boise, ID, and Denver, CO, with Minneapolis, MN, next at 2.2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
