The report indicates'
March sales of existing
single-family homes at a
projected annual rate of
3,650,000 units, up only one
percent over February gales
0f3,620,000.
“Evidently, high mor
tgage interest rates are
beginning to have a dam
pening effect on housing
markets,” Donald I. Hovde,
president of the association
said. “In March, as the
figures show, sales, of
existing homes edged up
ward a bit from their winter
slump, but the increase must
be considered anemic.”
Hovde added that although
the current level of market
activity is respectable, sales
are subdued when compared
to the accelerated rate of
transactions recorded
during the second half of

“At that time,” he said,

units.”
This amounts to a reduced
level of transactions over the
previous year but has not,
however, resulted in any
reduction in home prices
which continued their up
ward spiral. The median
March sales price of an
existing Single-family home
reached $53,800 or $1,900
higher than the preceding
month and $7,300 (15.7 per
cent) above the same month
a year ago. ‘
Figures show that rapidly
growing areas in the sunbelt
states have been ex
periencing the greatest price
jumps. At their current
levels, home prices in' the
West are 17.7 per cent higher
that a year ago. For the
same period of time, resale
prices in the South rose 15.4
per cent followed by the
North Central region with
14.7 per cent and the Nor
theast region with an annual
price rise of 7.6 per cent. /'
