Housing Update

Time for my quarterly update of the housing situation in the United States, using the existing home price barometer as published each month by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). 

As you are well aware, home prices rise in the spring as activity picks up after the doldrums of the fall and winter so I thought we’d look at the trends for the past two quarters…using the national median home price.  It’s going to be interesting to see how much further we decline off the spring highs.

2016

April...$230,900
May....$238,900
June....$247,900
July.....$243,300

May….$174,800
June….$181,800
July…..$181,300
Aug….$177,200
Sept….$175,900

Using the NAR’s data, the median average for a full year was as follows.

2004…$185,200
2005…$219,600
2006…$221,900*
2007…$219,000
2008…$198,100
2009…$172,500
2010…$172,900
2011…$166,100
2012....$176,800
2013....$197,100
2014....$208,300
2015....$222,400

*Existing home prices peaked in July 2006 at $230,200… according to NAR. You can play around with the numbers but generally you’re talking there was then a ‘formal’ decline of 30%, peak to trough, nationally.

But we hit a new high of $236,300 in June 2015 (non-inflation adjusted) and then this June another new one, $247,900.
