Prices moved higher as Median Sales Price was up slightly more than seven percent to $174,400. Days on Market decreased six percent to 107 days and Months Supply of inventory was down almost 18 percent to six moths.
“2016 is projected to be a good year, but inventory and affordability challenges coupled with mortgage rate increases will likely slow growth a little bit. However, these changes will also keep home prices from increasing too rapidly to maintain economic stability,” said SCR CEO Nick Kremydas.
