The Quarterly report is out! What is the latest housing forecast from the National Association of Realtors? Hi, I am Krista Mashore with eXp and The Mashore Group. Here are some of the key highlights from the latest NAR report on the state of the housing market. Pending Homes. Pending home sales increased 3.4% nationally in March over last year. We saw an uptick in contract signings in the Northeast, South and West regions but also a slight dip in the MidWest. As pointed out by NAR chief economist Lawrence Yu, “As we see an increase in pending sales, meaningful gains will only occur with declining mortgage rates and rising inventory”. Existing Homes Sales. NAR also forecast that existing home sales will rise by 9% in 2024 to 4.46 million homes from 4.09 million in 2023. They are predicting inventory will grow steadily with more new home construction and life changing events that will require homeowners to sell, move up or relocate. Median Home Prices Median home prices will increase 1.8% in 2024 to $398,800. We will continue to see home prices rise and it is noted most homeowners are in a strong financial situation with their equity and current market conditions with only 2% of sales being distressed or foreclosures. NAR also expects home sales to steadily improve and prices to hit record highs in some regions. Of course, this report looks like we are trending in the right direction but as we know the real estate market is very volatile and ever changing.
