Monday's Main Event Get a jump on your week with the latest in local Real Estate Market trends, Mortgage Rates, and Local Happenings The Main Story... ... September was a busy month and home demand reflected that. September closed with 7% more home Closings than a year ago with the average home price up more than 4% and still 6% higher than the 5 year average for the month. After the Fed reduction a few weeks ago, the 30 year average mortgage rate ticked up a bit and the month ended about 20 basis points higher than a year ago. To sum it up...  Year to date we're still seeing strong increases over the same period a year ago, with both units and the average home price increasing more than 5% for the comparable time. As we get closer to the 6% threshold with 30 year mortgage rates, we do expect to see the market easing a little bit more.  And, rumblings have that the Fed may make one or two more reductions before the end of the year, which should get rates below, if not well below, the 6% threshold.
