Home Prices Are Finally Dropping

House Asking Prices Fall

30 June 2022
Is this the new normal – a more affordable housing market? More than 25 percent of homes on the market have seen their prices slashed. Considering that earlier in the spring there were still bidding wars in many places, this is good news for buyers.
Although bidding wars are still prevalent, the housing market is showing signs of a shift. From May through June 5, roughly 8.4 percent of homes for sale across the country featured a price cut, more than double that of the year prior.
The entire nation is seeing a similar trend – in April, 16 percent of sellers cut prices of listed homes, a jump from March. Curious how the rest of the year will unfold? Check out our housing predictions for the second half of 2022.
