Amid a larger inventory drought and increasing mortgage rates, Realtor.com reported that October home prices held steady from the previous month. But is the number of homes actively for sale following suit?

Headwinds such as the adoption of AI, global economic and political health, and the impact of remote work and vacant office spaces top a new study of the primary issues affecting real estate.

While home prices rose annually, a surprising uptick in price-reduced homes from August to September reflects last year's trend and offers some relief amid ongoing affordability concerns.

A snapshot of August’s existing-home sales data revealed that available months of inventory increased to 3.3 while median sales prices topped $407,000.

In August, active inventory shrank compared to last year (-7.9%), despite an unusual increase from July in newly listed homes, signaling a potential return of seller activity heading into fall.

Home prices were up 3% year-over-year, despite stunted demand due to a shortage of homes, as inventory nationwide posts its biggest slide in 18 months.

July marked the first month-over-month decline in home sales since earlier this year in April, a signal that may mark the peak has passed for the typically busy summer buying season.

The median U.S. home-sale price is up 3.2% year over year, the biggest increase since November, and mortgage rates remain elevated.
