HouseCanary, Inc. [1] released its latest Market Pulse report [2] covering 22 listing-derived metrics, and comparing data between June 2021 and June 2022. The Market Pulse is an ongoing review of proprietary data and insights from HouseCanary’s nationwide platform.
“In June, we continued to see signs of cooling in the housing market as price growth began to slow for the first time since April 2020," said Jeremy Sicklick, Co-Founder and CEO of HouseCanary. "Buyers continue to experience a competitive environment with supply outweighing demand. However, it is important to highlight that the volume of price drops on active listings increased by triple digits year-over-year, signaling that a normalization of supply-demand fundamentals may be on the horizon. In the near term, we expect price increases to slow, with a potential uptick in housing supply."
