“The fall’s cooler temps are being matched by a cooling off in the housing market’s red-hot trends, according to Lanny Baker, CEO and President of ZipRealty.

“For the month ended Sept. 15, median homes sale prices in the 24 metropolitan areas surveyed were up 14% year-over-year, compared to a nearly 16% gain one month earlier.

“Median sale prices were higher than a year ago in all cities studied, but the year to year median price increases shrank in 19 out of 24 markets. The median sale price of about $272,000 in mid-September was also about 2% lower than in mid-August 2013.”

“Further moderation in trends was evident in sold-to-list price ratios, new listings volume, pending sales volume, and days on market data for mid-September,” continued Mr. Baker.

“The median number of days on market inched up from 28 in mid-August to 30 in mid-September, though houses are still selling faster this year than last year in every city except Phoenix.”
