Market Update – October 2023
In October, Median Home Prices in Northeast Indiana rose +6.0% to $222,500 compared to October 2022 as New Listings were flat in the same period. Pending Sales were down slightly -0.8% and Closed Sales were down -7.2%.
The Upstate Alliance of REALTORS reports, “U.S. sales of existing homes recently fell to a 13-year low, dropping 2.0% month-over-month and 15.4% year-over-year as of last measure, according to
the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), as surging interest rates and elevated sales prices continue to make homeownership unaffordable for many prospective buyers. Purchase activity is down significantly compared to this time last year, but rising interest rates are also keeping many current
homeowners from selling, causing inventory to remain at historically low levels nationwide.”
They continue, “Total housing inventory going into October was at 1.13 million units, up 2.7% from the previous month but down 8.1% compared to the same time last year, for a 3.4 months’ supply at the current sales pace, according to NAR. The shortage of homes for sale is making it harder for buyers to find a home to purchase while at the same time pushing sales prices higher nationwide, with the median existing-home sales price rising 2.8% annually to $394,300, the third consecutive month of year-over-year price increases.”
