SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second month in a row, home prices rose on an annual basis in September (+0.4%) as the inventory shortfall lingers, with the number of homes on the market falling year over year for the third consecutive month (-4.0%), according to the Realtor.com® September Monthly Housing Trends Report released today. Active inventory remained 45.1% below pre–pandemic (2017-2019) levels, although the number of homes for sale increased month-over-month (4.9%) in September, contrary to typical seasonal trends but attributable to the unusual bump in new listings in August.

Key Points: 
  • Limited inventory has kept listing prices high, and while new home sales are elevated , new construction hasn't been able to fully address inventory constraints.
  • All regions saw active listing prices in larger metros increase on average, but Northeastern metros saw the highest annual growth rate (+10.0%).
  • Among the largest 50 metros, only eight saw their median list price decline, led by San Antonio (-2.8%), Memphis, Tenn. (-2.1%), and Houston (-1.5%).
  • Despite an increase in homes for sale from August to September (+4.9%), active inventory remains -45.1% below 2017-2019 levels.
