Bang on eh? That's two months in a row that year-over-year has been near identical. Although I guess new listings could be on a bit of an upswing (10%).

The question about the word REALTOR has been moved into it's own thread.

SFH MTD Average = 618k
SFH MTD Median = 531k

Condo MTD Average = 331k

The SFH MTD Median is subject to quite a bit of variability right now, it could easily swing to 520k with two sales under 515k or up to 538k with two sales above 550k.

Well that's much more of a slow-down than previous months lately.

[spanky123]

"The median price of a single family home is only 1.5% lower than last year and that number has held steady for the last five months," Crabb says. "Interest rates are also holding, but should they increase by as little as 1%, that would negate a 10% drop in purchase price. People shouldn't wait for prices to drop, because we never know when interest rates will be increased to stimulate the economy."

Does any of that comment make any sense?

Some does, once you read it twice. Crabb says that if interest rates rise 1%, that's equal to a $10,000 savings. So don't wait (for the price to keep dropping), buy the house now, before rates go up.

The last part doesn't make sense. You don't stimulate the economy by raising interest rates.

I also note that Realtors NEVER say it a poor time to buy/sell. When the market is poor, they tell sellers to be "sharp" with their pricing, ie. drop it as far as you can stand. When the market is hot, they still like sellers to have low prices, then they suggest to their buyers they better go in full price or more if they don't want to lose out. It's such a bunch of BS.

Of course not. They make their money through the sales and purchases of property. Why would they want people to think isn't always a good time to buy/sell?
