After a year-over-year retracement of the median sales price of single-family homes in the first quarter of 2019, home values saw double-digit growth in the second quarter of the year, increasing from $865,000 in Q2-2018 to $979,000 in Q2-2019, a 13.2% gain. It is thus no surprise that the neutral market we reported in the first quarter has now shifted back into a seller’s market, with 2 months of inventory. Though the average cumulative days on market was up slightly from this time last year—at 33 days—it was markedly lower than Q1-2019, when homes sold in an average of 67 days.
After dipping in the first quarter of 2019, the average price per square foot held steady from the second quarter of 2018 to the second quarter of 2019, at $364.81 and $362.77, respectively.
