NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun.: Home prices have increased at a pace that far exceeds wage gains, especially for low- and middle-income workers
Despite a slowdown in home sales, home prices continue to soar. Eighty percent of 185 major metro markets across the country posted double-digit annual price appreciation in median single-family existing-home sales prices, the National Association of REALTORS®' latest quarterly report shows. Nationwide, the median single-family existing-home price climbed 14.2% annually, reaching $413,500 in the second quarter. That marks the first time that the median home price has surpassed $400,000, NAR reports. Those figures are even higher in the Silver State.
Higher home prices and higher mortgage rates chipped away at housing affordability in the second quarter. Housing affordability declined as monthly mortgage payments on a typical single-family home (with a 20% down payment) surged by nearly a third quarter over quarter to $1,841. That's an increase of $444 compared to the first quarter and is up by $612-or 50%-compared to one year ago, according to NAR's report. Click here to read more.
