J U N E M A R K E T O V E R V I E W While much of the country was working on a phased reopening of the economy in June, real estate activity continued to strengthen as well. Nationally, June showing activity as tracked by ShowingTime was up notably from the COVID-19 depressed levels in recent months but was also up from June 2019, reflecting pent-up demand by prospective home buyers.
Closed Sales decreased 0.6 percent for Single Family homes but increased 27.3 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes. Pending Sales increased 32.9 percent for Single Family homes and 89.5 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes. Inventory decreased 22.9 percent for Single Family homes and 1.1 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes.
The Median Sales Price increased 6.7 percent to $456,325 for Single Family homes but decreased 14.9 percent to $285,000 for Condo/Townhouse homes. Average Days on Market decreased 3.5 percent for Single Family homes and 27.1 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes. Months Supply of Inventory decreased 20.0 percent for Single Family homes and 17.1 percent for Condo/Townhouse homes.
While buyer activity continues to be robust, seller activity continues to be a bit softer, with fewer homes being listed for sale than a year ago. Many housing experts believe sellers remain reluctant to list their homes due to continued concerns over COVID-19, which was beginning to see a resurgence in June. Until sellers regain confidence, housing inventory will continue to be constrained during what is expected to be an active summer selling season.
