For those keeping an eye on the market, it\u2019s intriguing to see completed transactions holding just above last summer\u2019s pace. Median prices reached $434,100, extending a remarkable 37-month run of yearly gains and, for many homeowners, adding a bit more equity to keep tabs on. Inventory remains tight, ending the quarter at 1.54 million homes (down 1.9% month-over-month and 0.6% annually), so it\u2019s as important as ever to track listings closely\u2014especially here in the North Georgia mountains, where unique properties can move quickly. Nationally, housing affordability is showing some improvement despite rising prices, which means buyers who are prepared and patient may find their opportunity as value, timing, and choices begin to align. Mortgage rates continue to average in the high 6% range for 30-year fixed loans, and any downward shift could bring more options for buyers. Whether you\u2019re drawn to the Blue Ridge lifestyle or simply weighing your next move, I\u2019m always watching these trends to help you make informed decisions in our ever-evolving mountain market.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we move through early Q3, US existing-home sales tell a story of resilience\u2014slipping 1.7% month-over-month, yet still coming in 0.7% higher than last year.
