Weekly Housing Market Activity Report
For Week Ending December 9, 2017
Publish Date: December 18, 2017 • All comparisons are to 2016
next year. Residential real estate should remain active if joblessness continues to
decline and wage growth picks up. However, those increased wages must be in line
with median sales price increases. Unfortunately, that has not always been the
case. Add in factors such as increasing mortgage rates, student loan debt and
lower affordability, and the balance becomes more interesting but not
insurmountable for home purchasers.

• New Listings increased 3.0% to 762
• Pending Sales decreased 7.5% to 747
