The prices of resale homes continued its slow rise in August, with the median price rising to $307,000, the highest level since March of 2007. Sales were also up from August 2018.

Many feel this reflects the lower interest rates that now seem to have bottomed out. Inventory of available homes on Sept. 15, 2019, was down 10.7% from two months ago, as back-to-back months of 3,000+ closings ate into inventory. The median price is up 3.72% year over year, but only up 1.3% since January.
