Cooler autumn weather tends to bring a cooler housing market than the spring and summer months. As we slip out of summer, it’s a good time to look back at the housing market trends over the past season.
According to the National Association of REALTORS, the median sales price for existing homes in June 2017 was $263,800. This price may be the median, but it is important to choose a home based on a monthly payment that you can afford.
