Today’s condo environment is a far cry from the first days of the pandemic, when people were told to stay home and stay away from one another. 

The seasonally adjusted estimate of new houses for sale at the end of July was 378,000, representing a supply of 6.1 months at the current sales rate.

The increase was driven by a 21.6% month-over-month spike in the rate of new multifamily construction. Single-family housing starts, meanwhile, slid 2.8%.

September’s reading of 76 was up one point from August, despite lingering challenges with labor and the building-material supply chain, the National Association of Home Builders reported, citing the latest NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index.

Month over month, home sales were down 3.5%, and the median sale price declined 1.2% to $335,000.

Pending home sales in August rose just 9%, the slowest growth since June 2020, according to a new Redfin report.

A decline in new home listings has had little impact on the market as far as demand is concerned, according to a recent Redfin report.

Both existing-home sales and housing inventory fell during August in Atlanta. But housing starts are up.

The median price of a home in Georgia dipped slightly in August but was up more than 18% from a year ago, according to a new report from Georgia MLS.

Also during the month, the median sales price rose to $390,500 from $370,200 in June, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
