Weekly HAR Market Stat

• Home prices are still rising and rates have
  increased incrementally. As the cement of market
  balance hardens, it has become more dependent on
  move-up and first-time home buyers. Even with
  tightened lending regulations, seller activity
  has broadened. The government shutdown should not
  have a major impact on national and local market
  housing recovery. But as we get deeper into the
  -ber months, it will be interesting to see if
  the year-over-year trends hold true, simply
  lessen in drama or give reason for pause.

  September 29
• New Listings increased 3.8 to 1,924
