April Home Sales and Inventory Up Over March Totals

DENVER , May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- April home sales grew 11.3% over March but were 1.4% lower year over year. The month-over-month home sales growth continued a steady trend since January for the 51 metro areas surveyed.

New listings rose 6.2% over March and 7.5% year over year. Inventory similarly increased 7.0% over March while growing year over year for the 16^th consecutive month (35.7%).

April's Median Sales Price increased to $440,000 which was $5,000 (1.2%) higher than March and $10,000 (2.3%) more than a year ago.

"April's housing market showed some encouraging growth, with home sales increasing and days on market decreasing compared to March. The uptick in closings was a welcome development," says RE/MAX Holdings CEO Erik Carlson. "For-sale inventory increased with plenty of sellers ready to meet demand. However, we still need to see more buyers entering the market."

Inventory levels in the Miami, Florida market have pushed their months' supply of inventory to 6.9 months, the highest of the 51 metro areas surveyed. Anthony Askowitz, Broker/Owner of REMAX Advance Realty and REMAX All Keys Real Estate in South Florida says it's likely due to the condo market.

"Condos are still having difficulty due to regulations regarding structural integrity and reserves. We did not see many of the instantaneous sales we experienced a year ago, and we saw some price reductions prior to sale."

Other metrics of note:

Buyers paid 99% of the asking price in April – the same as in March 2025 but slightly below the 100% in April 2024.
Days on Market in April dropped to 40 days compared to 44 in March, while homes were on the market six days less in April 2024.
Months' Supply of Inventory was 2.3, up slightly from 2.2 in March and up from 1.7 a year ago.

Report Details
The REMAX National Housing Report is distributed monthly on or about the 15th. The Report is based on MLS data for the stated month in 51 metropolitan areas, includes single-family residential property types, and is not annualized. For maximum representation, most of the largest metro areas in the country are represented, and an attempt is made to include at least one metro area in almost every state. Metro areas are defined by the Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) established by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.

Definitions
Closed Transactions are the total number of closed residential transactions during the given month. Months Supply of Inventory is the total number of residential properties listed for sale at the end of the month (current inventory) divided by the number of sales contracts signed (pending listings) during the month. Where "pending" data is unavailable, an inferred pending status is calculated using closed transactions. Days on Market is the average number of days that pass from the time a property is listed until the property goes under contract. Median Sales Price for a metro area is the median sales price for closed transactions in that metro area. The nationwide Median Sales Price is calculated at the nationwide aggregate level using all sale prices from the included metro areas. The Close-to-List Price Ratio is the average value of the sales price divided by the list price for each closed transaction.

MLS data is provided by Seventy3, LLC, a RE/MAX Holdings company. While MLS data is believed to be reliable, it cannot be guaranteed. MLS data is constantly being updated, making any analysis a snapshot at a particular time. Every month, the previous period's data is updated to ensure accuracy over time. Raw data remains the intellectual property of each local MLS organization.
