Defying the odds, home prices are continuing their march higher even as rates hit levels that would make buyers from 2-3 years ago gasp. I am still of the mindset that this price increase is a result from entry level homes being crazy competitive. While affordability still plays a major role for the first-time buyer, the impact is less realized when compared to those looking to make more of a “lifestyle” shift to a larger home. Meanwhile, our months supply number we have been monitoring slowly, but surely keeps trending higher. Overall, it was not a huge leap from last month, but comparing to last year and seeing a 25% increase is significant by any measure.
