It makes a big difference in what financing you choose to go with.  Of course cash is king if the price is right, but not everyone has that opportunity.

Conventional and Cash

Conventional financing this week 281 last week 238.

Cash this week 38 last week 27

What financing was the most common for week 30-FHA VA 073121
FHA and VA

FHA this week 38 last week 36

VA this week 8 last week 5

So many people are using Conventional financing, because that is what the seller’s are choosing when they have multiple offers.  FHA and VA are harder to get accepted even if you are not asking for help with closing costs.

It has been hard for buyers that need to use FHA financing.

Median list price this week $373,700 last week $360,000.

Median closed price this week $390,000 last week $379,000.

So many more homes were closed this year than the previous 2 years.  New listings steadily declined from 2019 until this year.  Inventory of homes were low in 2019, but look where they are this year.  This is why the prices have increased so much.

Communities need to increase housing either with new construction or repurposing commercial property to help increase inventory so buyers have a chance.
