Statistics from the National Association of REALTORS®

Freddie Mac reported the national average 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.04 percent in May, up from 5.92 percent in April. Despite the recent increase, overall mortgage rates are down from 6.27 percent, available May 2007.

Existing home inventory is reported at 4.49 million units. According to Lawrence Yun, chief NAR economist, “The large supply of homes on the market clearly favors buyers, and it should take several months to draw the inventory down. Stabilization in home prices can only occur with buyers returning to the market, so we are encouraged by rising home sales, particularly in distressed markets.”

A number of areas nationally are experiencing increased activity over May 2007, including Sacramento, the San Fernando Valley and Monterey County in California; Sarasota, Florida, and Battle Creek, Michigan.
