In today’s high interest rate market, home prices have largely leveled off nationwide — but not everywhere. In certain places, prices are still on an alarming upswing.
Home prices reached a median of $442,500 in May, according to Realtor.com® data—that’s up just slightly from $441,000 a year earlier.
“The median price of homes for sale remained relatively stable compared with last year, growing by 0.3%,” notes Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale in her analysis.
Listing prices remained completely flat on a year-over-year basis in the South (+0.0%), “where competitive home inventory has grown the most in recent months,” Hale explains. But prices continued inching upward in the West (+0.8%), Midwest (4.4%), and Northeast (+6.1%) compared with the same time last year.
