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... …Rates ease as summer demand and pricing settle into balance… The first half of the year, thought June closings were below last year by about -7%, while the average closed price is holding near recent benchmarks.  Pricing is slightly softer month to month but remains above the five-year average. In hindsight, we can clearly see how the Average Weekly Newly Pending Contracts accelerated through spring before easing in June.  The latest level remains stronger than the early-year pace, pointing to continued buyer activity. The national 30-year fixed mortgage rate edged lower so far this month, showing estimated monthly payments on a $500,000 loan declined, improving affordability modestly from last month and last year. 🏠 June’s year-to-date closings remain below last year, while average pricing is staying relatively steady across recent comparisons. 📊 Newly pending contracts built momentum through spring and eased in June, but activity remains well above the early-year pace. 💰 Mortgage rates moved lower again, bringing the estimated monthly payment on a $500,000 loan down modestly. ☀️ As summer continues, buyers may gain a little breathing room from lower borrowing costs, while sellers should stay focused on accurate pricing and strong presentation.
