Weekly Housing Market Activity Report

For Week Ending September 29, 2018
Publish Date: October 8, 2018 • All comparisons are to 2017

The U.S. unemployment rate recently dropped to 3.7 percent, which is its lowest

mark since December 1969. The economy continues to bear impressive fruit within
and outside of residential real estate, and the Federal Reserve has reacted by
raising the benchmark federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point, the
third rate hike of 2018. While this may be undesirable news for those carrying high
credit debt, it is also a reflection of a bright economic outlook.

• New Listings increased 15.0% to 1,592
• Pending Sales decreased 6.3% to 1,123
• Inventory decreased 4.7% to 12,653
For the month of August:
