Heavy Buyer Demand Tilting Market in Favor of Sellers
07/10/2020 - 08:00 AM
SEATTLE , July 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sellers have the upper hand in today's housing market, according to -27151%2F&a=Zillow%27s+Weekly+Market+Report" rel="nofollow">Zillow's Weekly Market Report i . Despite a dip in newly pending sales, homes are flying off the market at a record pace and inventory remains incredibly scarce.
Homes are being snatched up at a record pace
Homes once again went under contract at their fastest pace since at least 2018 (when Zillow began tracking the data), tying a record set last week. Homes sold in the week ending July 4 were typically on the market for 20 days before a contract to sell was signed, a full week faster than the same period last year. And they are typically selling after only five days in Kansas City , Cincinnati and Indianapolis. Newly pending sales fell 4% from the previous week -- the second consecutive weekly drop -- and remained steady from a month earlier. The housing market continues to be starved for inventory
New for-sale listings dropped 1.5% from the previous week. They are now 7.9% below last month's level, and down 27.2% from a year ago. Total for-sale inventory is 22.4% lower than during the same week last year. Few price cuts show the market has tilted in favor of sellers
