DENVER, Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With three-quarters of the year complete, 2021 is mirroring seasonal norms, unlike 2020, but maintaining strong momentum. September home sales dropped 7.0% from August's total and the Median Sales Price slipped 1.1% to $329,000 – both far less than the typical drop-offs as summer gives way to fall.
"This was the second-most active September for sales in 14 years, trailing only 2020, which was an outlier in many ways," said Nick Bailey, President, RE/MAX, LLC. "Plus, the expected seasonal drop in sales from August to September was half of what it usually is, indicating that buyers and sellers are still very much on the move.
"The intensity on the buy side has been exhausting, but buyers can navigate the ups and downs with the help of a full-time, experienced professional. Affordability remains a challenge in most metros, where tight inventory continues to push prices. Homebuilders are trying to fill the gap – especially with multi-family home construction – but many of them are held up by shortages in labor and materials. That said, the market's still active – just not quite at the pace we saw earlier this year."
With abnormally high second-half home sales in 2020 skewing year-over-year comparisons, August-to-September averages for 2015-2019 illustrate what's typical in late summer-early fall:
September's average Days on Market of 25 was one day more than August and reflected sales that were 14 days faster, on average, than in September 2020. The 1.5 Months Supply of Inventory in September was an increase over August's 1.4, but was below September 2020's 2.0 Months Supply.
