Are Home Sellers Too Optimistic? Homes For Sale: Homes For Rent

The National Association of Realtors reported single-family homes in the US fell by 2.6% in March 2012 over March 2011 (4.48 million units). However, the median home price sale was up 2.5% on a year-over-year basis in March 2012.

Home sellers have reportedly increased listing prices in kind-- up 5.6% over March 2012, according to Realtor.com. Nonetheless, as we have stressed in the past, real estate is a local business. The magazine SmartMoney listed its most realistic and least realistic housing markets.

Most Realistic: 1) Las Vegas with a difference of +1.5% from list price and sales price; 2) Boston, +2.0%; and 3) Tampa, Florida at -3.0%.

Least Realistic: 1) Atlanta with a difference of -40.0% from list price and sales price; 2) Jacksonville, Florida at -34.0%; and 3) Washington, DC at -13.0%.
