U.S. homes are not selling, and prices continue to rise

paulpauper | 34 points

“Homes are not selling” is a narrative that seems to be a little exaggerated. Months of supply has been constant year over year and median days on market is 6 days more for SFH and 8 days for condos. The number of homes sold are also up yoy. The number of homes for sale are up 15% yoy which could explain why houses are in the market for slightly more, but I am yet to see a concrete measure that suggests homes are not selling.

The median sale price is also slightly up for SFH and slightly lower for condos/townhomes yoy. Seems to me that a lot of these articles are low information clickbait’s.

A land value tax would fix this. Instead of subsidizing vacant lots and car dealerships, we could just be building housing we already want on land we already have.

THe housing market is entirely synthetic due to corporate ownership.

Just stop measuring and I'm sure all these corporate influenced distortions will go away.
