Here’s a simple look at what’s happening with the existing homes right now.
🔢 What’s Going On
- Home sales went up a little (0.5%) in November.
- About 4.13 million homes would sell in a year at this pace.
- The median price is around $409,200, a bit higher than last year.
- There is about 4.2 months of homes for sale – more than last year, but still not “plenty.”
So:
📈 Sales are slowly rising.
💵 Prices are not crashing.
🏘 There still aren’t tons of homes to pick from.
🤔 What This Means for You
- Don’t wait for a huge “crash” — that’s not what the data shows.
- You may have more choices than buyers had in 2023, but you still need: A clear budget A plan A pre-approval when you’re ready
- Your local area (your city/county) can look very different from the national numbers.
