The National Association of Realtors say an overwhelming majority of metro markets (98%) saw home price gains in Q3 2022 despite rising mortgage and declining sales. In fact, they report that 46% of the tracked metro areas saw double-digit price increases, which was down from 80% in Q2, 2022. The national median single-family existing-home price was $398,500, up 8.6% from one year ago.
"Much lower buying capacity has slowed home price growth and the trend will continue until mortgage rates stop rising...The median income needed to buy a typical home has risen to $88,300 – that's almost $40,000 more than it was prior to the start of the pandemic..." Said Lawrene Yun, the NAR's Chief Economist.
