The national recovery index reached 90.0, suggesting the U.S. market is nearly halfway back to pre-COVID levels. However, total listings declined by 27% YoY, and new listings fell 20%. Median listing prices increased by 4.6% compared to last year, signaling rising buyer interest despite longer time on market.
The housing market showed signs of recovery in May 2020, with increasing consumer interest in suburban and rural areas, according to realtor.com. Online listing views in suburban ZIP codes rose by 13%, outpacing urban areas. Although time on the market increased nationally, suburban and rural areas experienced lower rates. Notably, over half of the top 100 metros are witnessing a shift towards suburban locations. The surge in interest is attributed to the desire for more space and remote work opportunities. May also marked one of the largest discrepancies in suburban versus urban property views since tracking began.
