Weekly Market Activity Report

For Week Ending July 12, 2014
Publish Date: July 21, 2014 • All comparisons are to 2013

We are within one of the most affordable home-buying environments in history, but prices are up and rates may well go up, too. Rising prices provide empirical  evidence of healthy demand. If inventory is able to replenish itself over the course of the next several months, sales could break up the sluggishness seen in some markets. There are those who believe that millennial buyers are being seduced away from homeownership by the agility of urban renting. That doesn't appear to be the case. Housing is enjoying brisk activity, and people are talking positively about residential real estate again.
