Inventory: Homes listed for sale decreased 44.4% from 1,389 listings one year ago to 772 in June. Months of supply dropped from 3 months to 1.4, reflecting a market where sellers generally have elevated bargaining power.
Pricing: The median sales price in June was $171,000, an increase of 7.6% from one year ago and an increase of 2.7% from May. The differing sample size (number of residential sales of comparative months) can contribute to statistical volatility, including pricing. ACRE recommends consulting with a local real estate professional to discuss pricing, as it will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood.
Homes sold in June averaged 52 days on the market (DOM), selling five days more slowly than in June 2019.
Forecast: June sales were 82 units, or 16.9%, above the Alabama Center for Real Estate’s (ACRE) monthly forecast. ACRE projected 485 sales for the month, while actual sales were 567 units. ACRE forecast a total of 2,483 residential sales year-to-date, while there were 2,544 actual sales through June, a difference of 2.5%.
NAR commentary: According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), existing home sales nationwide rebounded at a record pace in June (seasonally adjusted annual rate), suggesting signs of a turnaround after three months of declines. Sales prices continued to rise as the nationwide median sales price increased 3.5% year-over-year, extending the streak of Y/Y price gains to 100 consecutive months.
When addressing the turnaround in sales activity, Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said, “The sales recovery is strong, as buyers were eager to purchase homes and properties that they had been eyeing during the shutdown. This revitalization looks to be sustainable for many months ahead as long as mortgage rates remain low and job gains continue.”
Yun also noted the impact of low inventory conditions, saying, “Home prices rose during the lockdown and could rise even further due to heavy buyer competition and a significant shortage of supply.”
ACRE commentary: Closed sales data from June shows that total residential sales increased 18.7% year-over-year, ending two consecutive months of declines. On the supply side, inventory (properties listed for sale) was tight before the pandemic and continues to be constrained as listings declined 24.7% Y/Y. Limited inventory has played a significant role in supporting sales prices, which continue to trend upward. The median sales price of $193,977 reflects an increase of 7.1% from one year ago and 4.8% from May. Pricing dynamics are driven by the law of supply and demand, always at work moving toward or away from market equilibrium (6 months of supply), at which buyer and seller have equal bargaining power. In June, months of supply was at 2.3.
