Sales were 0.5% lower year over year.\n“The demand for a home purchase is widespread, multiple offers are prevalent, and days-on-market are swift,” said NAR’s chief economist, Lawrence Yun. “But contracts are not clicking due to record-low inventory.”\nThere were just 1.03 million homes for sale at the end of February, a 29.5% drop compared with February 2020. That is the largest annual drop ever and the lowest supply on record.\nSales are now varying dramatically by price point because supply is so lean on the low end and more plentiful on the higher end.\nHomes priced at above $250,000 have seen the most active sales, but Yun notes that homes priced above $500,000 to less than $1 million are starting to see the same low inventory problems.\n“Potential buyers may have to enlarge their geographic search areas, given the current tight market,” Yun said. “If there were a larger pool of inventory to select from – ideally a five- or a six-month supply – then more buyers would be able to purchase properties at an affordable price.”\nA recent rise in mortgage rates does not appear to be affecting homebuyer demand that much. The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed loan started the year below 3% and is now at 3.45%, according to Mortgage News Daily. That is still low, historically speaking.\nHome prices, however, are climbing quickly. They are up over 11% from a year ago, according to the latest S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price index. The price increases are strongest at the lower end of the market, where supply is lowest and bidding wars are rampant.\nRegionally, pending home sales in the Northeast fell 9.2% month to month and were 3.9% lower year over year. In the Midwest sales fell 9.5% for the month and were down 6.1% from February 2020.\nSales in the South declined 13% monthly and were higher by 2.9% annually. In the West, sales fell 7.4% from January and were up 1.9% from a year ago.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":354711059,"gmtCreate":1617200884871,"gmtModify":1704697215309,"author":{"id":"3562322219789410","authorId":"3562322219789410","authorIdStr":"3562322219789410","name":"Shan73","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e35e71e0f239022cb011941702411ed9","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3562322219789410"},"htmlText":"Woah, cool","listText":"Woah, cool","text":"Woah, cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/354711059","repostId":1178954775,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":354710219,"gmtCreate":1617200762531,"gmtModify":1704697211743,"author":{"id":"3578016826538514","authorId":"3578016826538514","authorIdStr":"3578016826538514","name":"SYEN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bc77b74d9887f01e251d70c3d84d4ab","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3578016826538514"},"htmlText":"Comment","listText":"Comment","text":"Comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/354710219","repostId":1178954775,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":354793059,"gmtCreate":1617199981671,"gmtModify":1704697186638,"author":{"id":"3579903850271065","authorId":"3579903850271065","authorIdStr":"3579903850271065","name":"nicoco","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3579903850271065"},"htmlText":"comment","listText":"comment","text":"comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/354793059","repostId":1178954775,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":3931690,"gmtCreate":1617200754086,"gmtModify":1680782461874,"authorId":3578016826538514,"author":{"id":3578016826538514,"authorId":3578016826538514,"name":"SYEN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bc77b74d9887f01e251d70c3d84d4ab","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":354793059,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Commen","text":"Commen","html":"Commen"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":23,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
