>YoY median home prices were up 13% nationally in August.
That's a misleading statistic. It simply means that the houses getting sold has shifted towards the higher end of the market. If you look at the price for the same house it's gone up somewhere around 3% YoY.
- FireBeyond 6y agoSo new construction only? And sorry, but in markets like mine, over the last year the average house has spent about 72 hours on the market and "the same house" has been sold multiple times in the last decade each time for approximately a 20% increase.
