Monthly Indicators
+ 2.9% + 35.7% - 27.1%One-Year Change inWe're halfway through the year and it seems our collective attention has shifted
from monitoring price and sales gains to eagerly anticipating more new listing activity on the part of sellers. This shift is the result of an imbalance between strong demand for homes and constrained supply. In some markets, purchase agreements are being written up directly after a showing. Your experience and local market conditions may differ, but the market as a whole has summertime heat.

Interest rate risk is back in the headlines after Fed chief Ben Bernanke's latest testimony on Capitol Hill. The Federal Reserve Bank is considering decreasing its $85 billion a month bond asset purchases, which have been holding interest rates at or near historic lows. This is mostly the result of an improving jobs market, which is a good thing for real estate.
