Recovery index dips for the first time ever due to lack of homes for sale after showing improvement last week
Santa, Clara, CA – Aug. 20, 2020 (PRNewswire) The U.S. median listing price grew 10.1 percent over last year, the fastest pace of growth since January 2018, according to realtor.com®‘s Weekly Recovery Report for the week ending Aug. 15. The sustained price increases are a result of fierce competition for record low levels of inventory and unwavering demand from pent up buyers.
The realtor.com® Housing Market Recovery Index declined this week by 0.9 points, which resulted in an overall index reading of 104.8 nationwide for the week ending August 15. The slight drop in the overall index this week is a result of the new listings component falling back below its pre-COVID baseline (January 2020 growth) despite increasing buyer demand. Meanwhile, new listings remain on the right trajectory, but growth is still variable on a week to week basis, and consistent improvement will be key in the weeks to come.
“With supply and demand moving in opposite directions, sellers are clearly gaining the upper hand in the market as buyer competition builds up and prices gain momentum going into the fall,” said Javier Vivas, director of economic research for realtor.com®. “Buyers hoping to close on a home this year should expect some hot competition, especially if they are looking at more affordable or entry-level housing. To get a leg up on the competition, buyers should get pre-approved for a mortgage so they can make fast offers and work with a local agent who has a deep understanding of their local market.”
