A report from The Daily Camera in Colorado. "Housing markets around the state are beginning to cool down, and Boulder County is no exception, according to the Colorado Association of Realtors. Statewide, median prices for single-family homes slipped just under 1% to $407,000 and also were down 1.6% for condos/townhomes sitting at $310,000, the report stated. The prices of townhomes and condos in Boulder County have fallen further than those of single-family homes, with the median price declining of 3.7% year-to-date. 'In Boulder County, it appears the days of the seller’s market are over,' the report stated. 'Buyers rejoice … prices seem reasonable and the bidding war days seem like a distant memory.'"

"The condo/townhome inventory in the seven-county Denver metro area is up 19% from a year ago and the statewide market is up more than 7% in active inventory from June 2018, according to the report. In Broomfield County, new listings are up 21%, with 18% of them selling in less than 32 days, according to the report, but median home prices are up just 1% since the beginning of the year. 'It appears the days of the seller’s market are over here as well,' the report stated."

The Tallahassee Democrat in Florida. "For the past several years, the real estate market has seen higher than normal appreciation rates when it comes to home values. This year, we are still seeing home values on the rise, but the rate of growth has slowed to a normal level. On the other hand, condominium values have declined throughout the year due to the glut of units still remaining as a result of the housing market expansion phase that ended in 2006."

The Arizona Republic. "In June, I was in a Phoenix doctor’s office and overheard two women talking about how the housing market was 'crashing again.' While I waited, I couldn’t help but listen as one woman told the other that her home’s value could fall like it did during the crash of 2009."

"Real estate experts don’t see signs of a crash looming. 'It’s not happening' said Tina Tamboer, senior housing analyst with the Cromford Report, about a potential plummet in the area’s home prices. 'It’s still a sellers’ market, but people need to be reasonable and not crazy about pricing their home,' said veteran agent Bobby Lieb."

From Seattle PI in Washington. "The newly released Northwest MLS statistics showed Seattle’s condo marketing trudging along in June with more of the same we’ve been experiencing – more inventory, a slower sales pace and stagnant values. Compared to a year ago the median sales price for condos in Seattle dipped 6.24% to $494,990. It was the 6th consecutive month that the citywide median sales price underperformed 2018 levels."

"But, that doesn’t mean the market is in a death spiral. In fact, Seattle condo values have stabilized over the past several months around the $490,000 price point, even with an influx of inventory and slower sales activity. The number of listings stayed about the same as last month at 694 Seattle condo units for sale, though that reflected an 86% increase in inventory over last June."

From Mansion Global on New York. "Manhattan luxury home deals plummeted in the first week of the month after a hike in the city’s mansion tax, according to a report. Buyers signed contracts for only nine homes priced at $4 million or more in the week ending Sunday, a 64% decline from the previous week, according to the weekly roundup from Olshan Realty. There wasn’t a single deal over $10 million last week, which is rare for Manhattan."

From Martha's Vineyard Times in Massachusetts. "I have been suggesting for several months that a sluggish market might be a sign that prices are just too high. I am seeing more and more price reductions on homes that have not had enough activity at the offered price and have considerable room to negotiate. This could be the ideal opportunity to buy the home of your dreams at a lower-than-current-average pricing would suggest, combined with excellent financing terms."

"Before you disregard a property based on price in this market, review what the price of any property should be with your buyer-broker rather than what the listing agent and seller determined was a good list price months ago. After several price reductions, you may not have as much negotiating room as a home that has been lingering, so watch for new reductions or those homes that are priced higher than the current market would suggest."

"After multiple price reductions totalling $500,000 and a motivated seller, the masterfully crafted home at 114 Middle Road in Chilmark is ready for picking. I would be anxious to hear from buyers, as I walk you through this 5-year-old home with the highest quality materials, why this is not the perfect opportunity to just make an offer."
