PROVIDENCE – The median price of a single-family home in Rhode Island in September was $295,000, a 9.1% increase year over year, according to the Rhode Island Association of Realtors Tuesday.
Sales for the month totaled 953, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 11.6%. Listings in that time declined 9.3% to 3,683 homes. Single-family homes sold in September spent an average of 59 days on the market.
Pending sales increased 4.4% year over year to 1,034 in September.
“It’s a good time to be a homeowner or a potential homeowner,” said 2019 RIAR President Dean deTonnancourt. “Inventory remains scarce, so sellers are seeing higher gains and buyers who find a home are seeing some of the lowest mortgage rates ever. It’s a win-win all around.”
