Above is the RP Data August housing update, presented by Tim Lawless. As always, it’s worth checking out for the smorgasboard of data on display.
Tim’s fairly upbeat this month, noting that the housing market is starting to see various “green shoots”. However, the main negative that could stifle the recovery is that for sale listings remain highly elevated (chart below), and there’s the possibility that the spring selling season could see a large number of homes hit the market, causing a supply glut.
