While March brought increased temperatures, home prices continued a record setting pace that marks two years of price increases! The median price for home sales was up over 12.3% from March 2020, making it the 23rd consecutive month of median price gain over the previous year. The year-to-date median price was $209,950, a 13.5% increase, from 2020’s year-to-date median price of $185,000.

A year after COVID-19 protocols began to fall into place, showings increased a staggering 49.5% by mid-month. The Median Days on Market was 2 days, which is 50% less than in March 2020.

Continuing the trend, March saw a sharp decrease in active inventory, down 52.8% from last year. Not helping with the drop in active inventory, the number of new listings hitting the market is down .9%
