October’s closed home sales rebounded from the previous month making it the third busiest closing month of the year for the Walla Walla Valley. Homes sales pulled within 8% of last years pace. October’s new listings replaced the number of homes that closed during the month keeping month-end numbers on par with the previous month. However, the trend of monthly year-over-year listing declines continued. At month’s end, there were 14% fewer listings than were available 12 months ago. Lower inventory levels this year has put upward pressure on prices. Year-to-date, the median price has increased by 5% over the previous year.
Like most of the country, buyer demand remained strong in Walla Walla. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says “The stock market run-up, along with the continued stretch of home growth and mortgage rates under 4 percent, have kept buyer activity at a very robust level.”
