The booming U.S. housing market has spilled over to the rental market, which has seen demand for apartment and single-family rentals skyrocket this year, as high sales prices and an inadequate supply of available housing have
forced many prospective buyers to rent for the foreseeable future. Increased demand for housing, along with an improving economy, has competition for rental units soaring, and landlords are taking note, with the national median
rent increasing 11.4% in 2021 so far, according to Apartment List.
Closed Sales decreased 14.6 percent for Detached homes and 7.1 percent for Attached homes. Pending Sales decreased 17.0 percent for Detached homes but increased 32.9 percent for Attached homes.
The Median Sales Price was up 18.8 percent to $949,000 for Detached homes and 16.9 percent to $583,000 for Attached homes. Days on Market decreased 48.3 percent for Detached homes and 53.8 percent for Attached homes.
Supply decreased 54.2 percent for Detached homes and 42.9 percent for Attached homes.
