The frenzy in the housing market continued in August as buyer competition remained elevated. Properties that closed in August received an average of three offers, according to the August REALTORS® Confidence Index Survey. The report is based on a survey of about 4,000 REALTORS® about their latest real estate transactions.Further evidence that the housing market is going strong: Buyer foot traffic to listings remains high. The REALTORS® Buyer Traffic Index increased to 76—any value above 50 means stronger buyer traffic compared to a year ago. All states except North Dakota and Illinois reported higher buyer traffic. North Dakota’s housing market is still being affected by weak oil prices, the report says.
