July 2022

   The U.S. housing market has continued to cool, as rising mortgage rates and record-high sales prices have stifled affordability, weakening demand and pricing out a multitude of buyers. Nationally, median household income has failed to keep pace with increasing mortgage payments, with the costs of buying a home about 80% more expensive now than they were just three summers ago, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). As more and more prospective buyers find their home purchase plans delayed, many are turning to the rental market, where competition has intensified due to increased demand.

   New Listings in Staten Island decreased 11.9 percent to 546. Pending Sales were down 32.2 percent to 327. Inventory levels fell 14.7 percent to 1,569 units. Prices continued to gain traction. The Median Sales Price increased 9.9 percent to $690,000. Days on Market was down 20.6 percent to 59 days. Buyers felt empowered as Months Supply of Inventory was up 1.9 percent to 3.9 months.
  

   At a time of year when homebuying activity is typically very strong, soaring homeownership costs have caused home sales to decline nationwide for the fifth consecutive month, with existing-home sales falling 5.4% month-to-month and 14.2% year-over-year as of last measure, according to NAR. But there is a bright spot. Inventory of existing homes has continued to climb this summer, with 1.26 million homes available at the beginning of July, equivalent to a 3 months’ supply. And despite the summer slowdown, homes are still selling quickly, with the typical home staying on market an average of 14 days.
