Weekly Market Report

August 6, 2018 by Adam Tita

For Week Ending July 28, 2018

The U.S. Labor Department reported that the economy added 157,000 jobs in July, marking 93 months in a row of job additions. Beginning in October 2010, that is the longest streak of monthly employment growth on record. The unemployment rate dropped to a historically low 3.9 percent, and wage growth remained at an annual rate of 2.7 percent. Meanwhile, escalating tariff conflicts with U.S. trade partners have not yet impacted the day-to-day housing market, but builders have indicated that lumber tariffs are increasing prices for new homes.

  • New Listings increased 6.1% to 1,814
  • Pending Sales increased 2.0% to 1,401
  • Inventory decreased 12.5% to 11,959
