The U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development recently reported that new residential sales for October 2024 dropped to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 610,000. This 17.3 percent decrease from September and 9.4 percent decline from last year highlights a cooling market, with a median sales price of $437,300. For current homeowners, these figures suggest that staying put and investing in your existing property may be an increasingly attractive financial strategy in the current landscape.
