👉 What It Means For You

Supply without a contract is up 8% from a year ago. However, it has already declined between February 1 and March 1, something which usually only occurs in years when the market is doing rather well. That is just one of several good omens that suggest the weakness in demand that started in September is now dissipating.

Sales increased by over 18% between January and February. This compares favorably with last year which gave us a 14.4% sales increase. Also, under contract listings grew over 20% since last month. Again, this is better than in 2018 when the increase was 16.6%.

Home prices aren't going to start decreasing quite yet! Yes, asking prices are being cut at quite a high rate, but asking prices are often overly optimistic anyway, especially for homes that have just been listed. Actual closed prices are looking very strong. The mix is changing in favor of higher end homes too, since the low end below $200,000 remains chronically under-supplied. The usual upward cycle in average price per sq. ft. during the spring looks like it has turned up as usual in 2019.
