Recession Who? High Inventory and the Lowest Days on Market EVER!

Nationwide US home sales rose in June by 2% which is the first annual increase since July 2019, before the pandemic-fueled buyer frenzy shocked the market of available homes and sent prospective buyers into bidding wars for nearly every listing.

Check out our Redfin interactive map and you'll see how quickly homes are selling from June 2022 compared to anytime the last 10 years.

Now with the increase supply of homes and 5.5%+ mortgage rates, high home prices and a struggling economy push more buyers to the side, thereby creating a more balanced market.

The increase in inventory has not slowed down the stats for "Days on Market". The current seasionally adjusted average for Days on Market, June 2022, is at 18 days which is still the lowest in history. Buyers now have more options even with houses selling in record time.
