It's Monday, so it's time for the weekly US real estate data from @AltosResearch

We'll start with the latest view of the Inventory Crisis we're in.

thread 1/6
Total active inventory plummets yet again. Down to 355,000 single family homes on the market. Properties are moving so fast there are another roughly 10,000 that bypassed the active market altogether, going straight into contract, spending essentially zero days on market.
2/6
Unsurprisingly, prices are climbing. Up to $344,900, we're well on our way to another 10% price appreciation year. Massive equity gains for all homeowners.

3/6
We're in Sellers' Market Conditions unlike any we've ever seen.
The Altos Market Action Index is skyrocketing. You can see the bright red last year during the initial lockdown period. Contrast that with today where demand is off the charts on tiny supply.

And finally this week, if you're a professional in the real estate market, you should join us on our webinar Wednesday. We'll spend an hour looking at this data, local markets, talking policy and the implications for the rest of the year. Don't miss!

It's Monday, so that means the latest real estate data from @AltosResearch and man the leading indicators are all aligning for another big year of home price appreciation.

1/5
On the inventory watch, we're down to just 389,000 single family homes on the market. Many new listings are getting offers so quickly they're bypassing our active market data and just going straight to pending-contract.
2/5
What's inventory going to look like throughout the year? Fingers crossed that we get a more seasonal pattern in listings this year, trough in a couple weeks at 370,000 or so, peak in 3Q at only 5670,000 or so. A million would be healthy/normal.

First real estate data for the new year is in!

Available inventory is of course still the story. We're starting the year with just 419,000 homes one the market. Last year was 763,000. It wasn't that long ago when we'd start the year with 1 million or more active inventory.

New Years' is always the lowest listing volume and this year we're at just 23,000 new listings. That'll jump this week. Fingers crossed that inventory follows a more normal pattern this year so we can meet some of the demand out there.
2/5 Image
US single family home prices ended 2020 up 10% over 2019. Unreal. Like all the booming financial markets, real estate remains unhindered by any pandemic negative impact. Keep an eye on the gray line here for the steep jump that'll happen next week.
