NOT SLOWING

BUT CHANGING

Stick with the brokers who are paying attention to the market.

Things have shifted. As a seller, did you miss the peak?

Maybe. We are seeing a calming of sorts.

In last month’s Home Sales Predictor article they said: “Only time will tell if this flattening trend will continue or if we will see a spike later this year. Many of our clients have shared with us they are starting to see more listings in their area so maybe we will still see a spike? What trends are you seeing?

Do you think we’ve seen the peak?”

And, it appears the flattening has not happened yet. In June there were a record-breaking 636K homes sold across the US. That’s 6% higher than our prediction and 24% higher yearover-year. In fact, that is the most homes sold in a month that we have seen since we started tracking this data back in 2016.

July/August Predictions Looking ahead it appears the market will remain hot with a brief slow down expected for July (which is a historical trend), with 587K home sales. That would be an 8% decrease from June and a 4% decrease year over year. We then expect the market to pick right back up to 601K in August. If our prediction holds true that would be a 2% increase from July and a 3% increase year over year.

When talking with our data team this month about the Home Sales Predictor one thing we all agreed on was the fact that this is a weird housing market that really feels like the tip of a lot of interesting things happening in the world right now.

Especially for us here in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve been living in a market that was mostly closed for the last 15 months. It’s been shocking to see how much has changed in the last two months, especially in the housing market. A lot has been unpredictable, and while we are confident in the data at our fingertips, only time will tell how much wackier this market may get.

MUCH LIKE PEOPLE, EVERY MARKET IS UNIQUE. SOME MARKETS HAVE VIEWS, SOME LARGE YARDS. FROM HOMES BUILT AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY TO NEW CONSTRUCTION, EACH AREA HAS ITS OWN FEATURES AND TYPES OF HOMES.
