The days on market until sale increased 9.1 percent (from 22 to 24 days), compared to January of last year.
“Tight inventory is likely the cause of increased prices. Until more houses are on the market, affordability will continue to be an issue,” said GHAR CEO, Holly Callanan.
In the national outlook, Lawrence Yun, National Association of REALTORS® chief economist stated: "Due to low supply, the median home price reached a new high for the month of January. Homeowners are in a financially comfortable position as a result. Since January 2020, a typical homeowner would have accumulated $130,500 in housing wealth."
