The median home sale price increased 15% year over year to $320<\/span>,625—the highest on record, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. The largest increase ever recorded in the Case-Shiller national home price index (which goes back through 1988) was 14.5% in September 2005<\/span>.<\/p>\n Below are other key housing market takeaways for 434 U.S. metro areas during the 4-week period ending October 4<\/span>.<\/p>\n “Large, expensive, luxury homes are taking up a bigger share of the homes that are selling, which is driving a high growth rate for the median sale price,” said Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather<\/span>. “Remote work is increasing demand from affluent people, while middle-income people are more often expected to do their jobs in-person, and many have been affected by furloughs and shutdowns.”<\/p>\n We will continue to track changes in sellers’ asking prices, which tend to precede trends in overall home price growth. Even as sales continue to experience a typical seasonal slowdown, real estate remains firmly in seller’s market territory.<\/p>\n “Sellers that are just getting into the market are seeing they can set their asking price a little higher than what they may have expected because inventory is so low and the buyer pool is still growing,” explained San Antonio Redfin real estate agent Jim Seifert<\/span>. “Homebuying demand is still really strong, which has really pushed multiple offers to a whole new level. You’re not going to see prices go down right now.”<\/p>\n To view the full report, including charts and methodology, please visit: https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/record-price-growth-in-real-estate-market\/<\/p>\n About Redfin<\/strong> For more information or to contact a local Redfin real estate agent, visit www.redfin.com.
