Weekly insight: Buyer activity rose  6.2 percent last week compared to the late fall of 2019. Although it remains more appropriate to compare demand to pre-pandemic years, we intend to shift to a traditional year-over-year comparison model in the coming weeks. In terms of demand from pending sales, listings above $250K all saw average increases, while the affordable price points saw continued declines in buyer activity for the most part. Seller activity performed relatively the same compared to 2019, dropping only 0.8 percent in this timeframe. Some price points fared better than others, most significantly listings between $750K-1M which saw 126.7 percent growth on average. Showing activity in recent weeks fared better than both 2020 and 2019 metrics. Overall, showings increased 14.2 percent relative to 2019. The 30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Average in the United States dipped under 3.0 percent once again this past week.
