Weekly Market Report: Week Ending March 10, 2024
New listings have had a slight decline since last week, but are still up from this time last year. New listings are down 1.1% from two weeks ago; however, they are up over 7% compared to this time last year. This overall increase is a welcome sign for buyers entering the spring market.
Median list price slightly below record high. List price continues to track above last year’s levels, with this week’s median list price exceeding last year’s by 0.6%.
New contracts just still below last year’s level. Higher mortgage rates have kept some buyers on the sidelines. The average rate on a 30-yr mortgage recently edged back towards the 7% mark, sitting at 6.88% as of the week of March 10. As rates fall this spring, buyer activity is expected to increase.
