Avast, ye landlubbers! In the grand year of 2024, home sales be plummetin' like a ship in a storm—lowest in 30 suns! With a treasure chest of $407,500 for a humble hull, ye best be savin' yer doubloons, or ye'll be livin' in a barrel! Arrr!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round as I regale ye with tales from the landlubber realm of U.S. home sales in the year of our Lord 2024. Aye, 'twas a dreary time for them landowners, as the number of homes sold plummeted to the depths not seen since the days of yore—nearly 30 years past, to be precise!The scallywags at the National Association of Realtors be spillin' the beans, reportin’ a mere 4.06 million homes traded hands that year, the lowest tally since 1995, I tell ye! 'Tis as if the seas of real estate turned stormy, makin' it harder fer swabs to find a cozy berth.
But lo! Even amidst this wretched decline in sales, the price o’ yer humble abode soared like a ship's flag in a gale, settin’ sail to a record high of $407,500! Aye, that’s a treasure chests’ worth of doubloons fer a roof over yer noggin!
So here we be, with homes sellin' like hot cakes but at prices that'd make a kraken weep. If ye be lookin’ to buy or sell, best prepare to navigate these treacherous waters, lest ye find yerself marooned on the Isle of Affordability!
