Metro Denver's housing market ended 2020 with a bang, popping the roof with a record-high number of home sales and busting through the basement with the fewest listings available for sale.

December’s housing market sentiment hit a seven-month low, indicating that inventory could be further constrained by sellers waiting for a better time to list, according to Fannie Mae.

Continuing a trend seen during the pandemic, the number of existing homes — excluding condos and townhomes — in the Las Vegas Valley dropped 11% from November.

Mortgage applications decreased 4.2% over the final two weeks of 2020, but the strong demand for home buying throughout most of the year should continue, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Led by El Dorado County, the Sacramento region became one of California's notable housing and growth hot spots in the final months of 2020, new data show.

A gauge of pending home sales fell for the third consecutive month in November, suggesting higher prices and limited inventory are slowing momentum in the housing market despite record-low borrowing costs.

Defying a tumbling economy, worsening health crisis and early doomsayers, Bay Area single-family home prices jumped to record levels this fall as most counties saw median prices top $1 million.

Falling interest rates more than canceled out median home listing prices, reaching an all-time time high during the month, Redfin said.

The median sales price of single-family homes in Miami-Dade surged to an all-time high of $450,000 in November, the third consecutive month of setting a new record and continuing a nine-year streak of monthly increases.

High property value growth can be locked in through proximity to one of the top amenities an area can have: grocery stores.

New-home sales tumbled to a five-month low, suggesting red-hot demand is cooling amid resurgent COVID-19 cases and other signs of a slowing economy.

Mortgage applications increased 0.8% from one week earlier, an indicator of the housing market’s strength as this year comes to an end, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Sales of previously owned homes fell in November for the first time in six months, suggesting that surging prices and a record-low supply are constraining red-hot demand.

Portland metro has never had so few homes for sale as seen in November, handing even more power to sellers and forcing buyers to face bidding wars or wait for more owners to list their residential property.

Southern California home prices jumped 11% in November and sales increased by 19% from last year's levels as a robust market streak continued to defy the coronavirus pandemic that saddled the region with high unemployment.

The boom continues, with refinances making up a 61% share of all mortgage loans issued that month, according to Ellie Mae.

While the haggling tapered off slightly alongside the housing market’s seasonal slowdown, home sales remained five times more competitive than the year before, according to Redfin.

Mortgage applications increased 1.1% from one week earlier as a decline in rates to yet another low point brought consumers into the market, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
