February Means Rain and Rising Home Prices
• Raleigh Closed Sales: Home sales were down this month compared to last February. February sales were down by a 4.8%. That dip is, in part, due to lack of inventory.
• Average Raleigh Sales Price: The average sale price rose this month in relation to last February. The average price of homes sold in February was $405,528. That's an increase of 11.5% over last year in February.
• Days On Market: The average days on market before a sale dropped dramatically again this month compared to last February. The average days on market for February was 20 days. That's down 45.9% from February last year.
• Raleigh Active Listings:This is the BIG one again. Active listings fell, thud, this month. Listings dropped a whopping 66.8% from last year in February.
According to the Triangle MLS, "Mortgage interest rates ticked a bit higher in February but remain below their February 2020 levels. Interest rates may rise a bit further in coming weeks, but according to Freddie Mac chief economist Sam Khater, "while there are multiple temporary factors driving up rates, the underlying economic fundamentals point to rates remaining in the low 3 percent range for the year." With rates still at historically low levels, home sales are unlikely to be significantly impacted, though higher rates do impact affordability.
For homeowners currently struggling due to COVID-19, government agencies are continuing efforts to help those in need. The Federal Housing Finance Agency announced they will allow homeowners with loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to receive an additional three months of forbearance, extending total payment relief to up to 18 months. Qualified homeowners must already be in a forbearance plan as of the end of February."
