Home prices across the US continued climbing in mid-Q3, rising about 0.3% month-over-month on a seasonally adjusted basis—though the pace eased a bit from previous months. Annually, prices are up around 4%, marking the fastest growth we've seen in a year. This steady rise happened even as monthly momentum cooled and we entered what’s now considered the strongest buyer’s market on record. Elevated housing costs and some uncertainty held back demand, while more homes continued to come on the market. Still, national prices haven’t dropped, thanks in large part to homeowners holding significant equity and not feeling pressure to accept deep discounts. If you're considering buying, this slower growth can give you the breathing room to compare options and negotiate. For sellers, starting with a realistic price is key to drawing interest in today’s market. With my in-depth knowledge of our local communities and current conditions, I’m here to help you navigate these changes and make your real estate experience a smooth one.
