Fourth Quarter Home Sales Surge 13.9%
Strong gains in existing-home sales were the predominant pattern in most states during the fourth quarter, with many more metro areas seeing prices rise from a year earlier, according to the latest survey by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION of REALTORS®.
Sales increased from the third quarter in 48 states and the District of Columbia; 32 states even saw double-digit gains.
Year-over-year sales were higher in 49 states and D.C.; all but three states had double-digit annual increases.
Total state existing-home sales, including single-family and condo, jumped 13.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.03 million in the fourth quarter from 5.29 million in the third quarter, and are 27.2 percent above the 4.74 million-unit level in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Distressed property accounted for 32 percent of fourth quarter transactions, down from 37 percent a year earlier.
