Existing-home sales finish a dismal year on a high note
Briefly

The U.S. housing market saw the median sales price reach $404,400 after 18 months of continuous annual growth, representing a 6% increase since October 2022. However, 2024 ended with home sales at just 4.06 million, the lowest figure in almost three decades, although the median price hit a record high of $407,500. Current low inventory and homeowners locked in low mortgage rates maintain a challenging supply situation. Regional sales growth was observed, with predictions for 2025 remaining cautious amid a still constrained market.
