Home Prices Rise in Half of U.S.

Prices for single-family homes climbed in half of U.S. cities in the first quarter as real estate markets stabilized.

The median sales price increased from a year ago in 74 of 146 metropolitan areas measured, the National Association of Realtors said in a report today.  In the fourth quarter, only 29 areas had gains.

There are broad shortages of homes in much of the country.  This is good news for sellers who wish to list now, or for those waiting for prices to improve.

 

If you're thinking about listing your home, now is a great time!

Don't expect homes to get much cheaper

Buying a home may never get any cheaper than now.  Several housing experts are predicting that this year will be the last chance for bargain hunters to cash in on the best deals of the weak housing market.

Homes have never been more affordable with prices down 34% nationally since 2006 and mortgage rates at historic lows, but it won't stay this way for much longer.

Numbers point to a solid winter rebound in the housing market

Government figures for the previous two months were revised and the numbers are much higher than previously figured.  This points to a solid winter rebound in the housing market.

Helped by low prices, record low mortgage rates and an increase in hiring that has lowered the unemployment rate, the battered housing market has been showing signs of recovery so far this year.

It is now cheaper to buy a home than rent in much of the country.
