Monday Morning Market update

August real estate reports show continued rise in sales and prices. "Existing-home sales increased in August and reached the highest level in six-and-a-half years, while the median price shows nine consecutive months of double-digit year-over-year increases, according to the National Association of Realtors®."

The lack of inventory isn't only in the Philadelphia area either. Data from realtor.com, NAR’s listing site, shows large declines in inventory from a year ago in Naples, Fla., down 23.5% ; the Detroit area, down 23.3%; and the greater Boston area, down 20.7%.

Thinking about moving UP? It may be a good time to make a move

"Housing demand by trade-up buyers is rising as the home equity available to these prospective buyers is improving as foreclosures sales decline nationwide and are in high demand in many fast-rising markets" According to a recent Real Estate Economy Watch article.
"...higher home prices are bringing out trade-up demand from existing homeowners who are experiencing rising home equity, which supports a down payment on their next bigger house."
