Realtor.com Reports Price Increases are Moderating | Bedford Corners Real Estate

-
The inventory drought that has driven price increases this spring is ending as new listings restore supplies.  Larger inventories, especially in the hotter markets that experienced rapid price increases in the spring, are providing buyers more choices and moderating price increases.
Realtor.com’s year over year inventory declined 5.24 percent for the second month in a row.  However inventories were up 1.41 percent over June.  National median list prices increased 5.27 percent year-over-year while median age of inventory fell 16.67 percent.
The very hot California markets that were a concern two months ago have cooled.  In fact, inventories have recovered so much in Sacramento and Stockton-Lodi that their supplies of listings for sale on Realtor.com are larger than they were a year ago.  The recovery’s new phase is characterized by smaller price swings, larger inventories that reflect higher home values, a moderate decline in the median age of inventory and a general return to stability.  The balance of the year will see markets consolidate the price gains they achieved during the buying season.
Dramatic national year-over-year inventory declines have evaporated. Nationally inventories in July are only 5.24 percent below the level of a year ago compared to being down 16.47 percent year-over-year in January.

Top 20 real estate websites in June | Mount Kisco Real Estate

-
Last year, Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate battled it out for the top position in the monthly real estate website rankings maintained by Web metrics firm Experian Hitwise . So far this year, Zillow has been king of the hill, having bumped Yahoo Real Estate from the top spot in March. Jockeying for the spots below first place has also been fierce, with Trulia jumping two positions into second place on the Hitwise list in June. Trulia leapfrogged over third-place Realtor.com, bumping Yahoo Real Estate into third place in the process. AOL Real Estate, meanwhile, moved up two positions from May to June, but there were no new websites in the top 10. The Hitwise rankings don't tally mobile app users, an increasingly popular option among consumers conducting listing searches.
