What it means for you

If you're buying

There are more homes for sale than a year ago (+13.3%), so you have more to choose from and often more room to negotiate on price, repairs or credits.

About 35% of listings had a price cut this month. Ask your agent how long a home has been on the market and what similar homes actually sold for.

At the typical value of $633,770 with 20% down and a 7.24% 30-year rate, principal and interest come to about $3,455 a month before taxes, insurance and any HOA.

If you're selling

Typical home values are up 0.6% from a year ago.

With more competition on the market, pricing right in the first two weeks and showing the home at its best matter more than usual.

Price cuts are common right now (35% of listings), which usually means the first price was set too high. A value based on recent nearby sales is the best place to start.

If you're investing

Typical rent is about $3,191 a month (+3.0% vs. last year, Zillow). Against the typical home value that's a gross rent yield of about 6.0% a year before expenses, vacancy and financing.

Run any specific property through the investment calculator with its real taxes, insurance and HOA before deciding.
