Early this Q3, US existing-home sales dipped 1.7% month-over-month but still managed a 0.7% yearly increase\u2014meaning completed transactions are holding steady compared to last summer. The median existing-home price reached $434,100, marking 37 straight months of annual price gains. That\u2019s a big deal for homeowners keeping an eye on their growing equity. Inventory ended the period at 1.54 million homes, down 1.9% from the previous month and 0.6% from last year, so buyers still need to be sharp and quick on new listings in this tight market. Despite rising prices, housing affordability actually improved nationwide\u2014so if you\u2019re prepared, you might find opportunity when the right home, price, and timing align. With mortgage rates hovering in the high-6% range for a 30-year fixed loan, any shift downward could make a real difference for buyers as summer rolls on. My focus is always on making sure you feel supported and informed, every step of the way.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone who\u2019s called Arizona home for decades, I keep a close eye on shifts in the national housing market and what they might mean for folks right here in our community.
