August sales are comparable to the strong levels recorded last year and well above long-term trends for the month. While sales have remained relatively strong, there still a shift towards more affordable options as the year-over-year pullback in detached sales was nearly matched by gains for multi-family product types.
New listings continue to trend down, preventing any supply gains or a substantial shift in the months of supply. Despite year-over-year gains in new listings, the spread between new listings and sales this month narrowed compared to the past three months.
This caused total inventory to trend down and prevented any significant shift in the months of supply. The months of supply in August remained at just above two months, not at tight as earlier in the year, but still below levels traditionally seen this time of year.
For the third month in a row, benchmark prices eased declining to $531,800. While the reduction reflects shifting market conditions, it is important to note that previous gains are not lost, and prices remain over 11% higher than last year.
