What it means for you

If you're buying

The number of homes for sale is close to last year (-3.7%), so expect a steady market rather than a rush in either direction.

At the typical value of $927,891 with 20% down and a 7.24% 30-year rate, principal and interest come to about $5,059 a month before taxes, insurance and any HOA.

If you're selling

Typical home values are down 0.5% from a year ago.

A value based on recent sales near you, not an online estimate, is the best place to start.

If you're investing

Typical rent is about $2,772 a month (+0.8% vs. last year, Zillow). Against the typical home value that's a gross rent yield of about 3.6% a year before expenses, vacancy and financing.

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