Today the Census Bureau reported that in March 2021, new home sales were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,021,000. This number beats estimates. Additionally, major positive revisions were made to the sales number of the previous months. I expect this month’s headline to be revised lower a tad next month, but even considering that, this report was the best new home sales report in over a decade.

Hello everyone! I hope that you are doing good and hanging in there! Every now and then, I have a guest blogger that covers a topic that is not related to real estate. This is the case today. This week, my guest blogger is June Duncan. June reached out to me to see if I would be interested in having her write a piece for the Cleveland Appraisal Blog, on helping the elderly or disabled when they are in decline.

After last year’s record $3.83 trillion in mortgage originations, the MBA forecasts volume to fall 14% this year to $3.28 trillion, which would still be the third-highest total on record.

This is getting to be a problem. Home prices in the U.S. soared 18% year-over-year in March 2021 to a median of $356,000, according to a report Redfin released Friday that provided stark evidence of a housing market where demand greatly exceeds supply. Homes sold in March were on the market for 21 days, per the report, the shortest period between listing and sale since 2012.

Many are still having repairs done to their homes due to the massive amount of damage that occurred from frozen pipes. They are still gathering the death toll but it is currently at 111 deaths. Our hearts go out to those with great losses from this catastrophic event.

If recently-introduced first-time homebuyer legislation were to be enacted as written, about 4.37 million people – roughly 10% of the nation’s renters – could be eligible for up to $25,000 in downpayment assistance. Advocates of the policy say the program’s thoughtful targeting would allow it to reach those who need it the most, while industry experts told HousingWire that a complex, heavily means-tested program could create compliance pitfalls.

Low mortgage rates and incredible buyer demand won out over pressure from soaring lumber prices in March as single-family new home sales rose 20.7% from February to a 1.02 million seasonally adjusted annual rate, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau.

Reading Time: 3 minutes. If you’ve already started the house hunt and have run into some hurdles, you’re not the only one. In a tight market like this, where so few homes are listed, it’s not unusual to begin wondering if you’ll ever find the right house. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) confirmed that the nationwide inventory of available houses recently fell to its all-time lowest point since NAR started measuring this metric nearly 40 years ago.
