Home Sales Surge to Best Levels in 14 Years!
Existing home sales continued on a roll for the third consecutive month, hitting the highest level in August since December 2006. The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) said sales of pre-owned single-family houses, town homes, condos, and cooperative apartment were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
The August numbers came on top of a 24.7 percent rise the prior month and 20.7 percent growth in June. Since May, when the market began to recover from its 3-month long pandemic related tailspin, the pace of sales has risen by 2.2 million units.
Analysts had been bullish in their forecasts for the August numbers and didn’t miss by much. Those polled by Econoday had expected sales in the range of 5.56 million to 6.44 million with a consensus of 5.97 million units.
“Home sales continue to amaze, and there are plenty of buyers in the pipeline ready to enter the market,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “Further gains in sales are likely for the remainder of the year, with mortgage rates hovering around 3 percent and with continued job recovery.”
Sales of single-family homes was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.37 million in August, up 1.7 percent from 5.28 million in July, and 11.0 percent from one year ago. Existing condominium and co-op sales were recorded at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 630,000 units representing growth of 8.6 percent and 6.8 percent from the two earlier periods.
