Despite lingering supply issues, housing permits increased to an annual pace of 1.65 million in October, a positive sign for home builders to close out the year.

Nationally, median home prices rose to $294,488 in September, marking the sixth straight month of increases.

In Q3, home sellers earned record profits, as the median U.S. home price jumped 16% to $310,500, reaching levels not seen in a decade.

The nation’s housing supply remains a concern for first-time buyers being shut out of a market by accelerating price hikes.

Younger buyers are comprising a smaller share of the market than in previous years, as first-time home shoppers are being ousted by demand from repeat baby boomer buyers.

An analysis finds that home prices escalated at a torrid pace in August, forcing many prospective homebuyers to the sidelines with many continuing to be priced out of the market.

With plenty of cash on the sidelines and the ability to lock in record-low rates, homebuyers are seeing prices still heading upward in a market still low on inventory.

A new report finds that the continued struggle of home supply keeping up with demand has driven year-over-year increases to levels last seen in 2005.

A new report from CoreLogic has found that more baby boomers are choosing to stay in their homes rather than enter a tight market where their options are limited.

Potential homebuyers looking to take advantage of low rates are hitting some obstacles when shopping, one being the continued rise in home prices.
