A place is deemed \u201cwalkable\u201d if some or most errands can be accomplished on foot, while \u201ccar dependent\u201d means most errands require a car. Urban areas tend to be more walkable, while suburban and rural areas tend to be more car-dependent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith restaurants, bars and shops temporarily or permanently closed due to the pandemic, much of what makes walkable neighborhoods so desirable and valuable has been diminished this year,\u201d said Redfin chief economist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/darylfairweather\/\">Daryl Fairweather<\/a>. \u201cEven though walkable, urban neighborhoods aren\u2019t as hot as suburban and rural places this year, low mortgage rates have continued to fuel voracious homebuyer demand just about everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I expect proximity to retail and restaurants to be higher on buyers\u2019 priority lists once the pandemic has passed, the landscape of walkability may be forever changed,\u201d Fairweather continued. \u201cNew businesses may open in previously unwalkable areas given increased demand for neighborhood restaurants and coffee shops from residents who moved in during the pandemic. That would make suburban and rural places permanently more attractive to buyers seeking walkability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The number of homes for sale in car-dependent neighborhoods plummeted 39.2% year over year in October, nearly quadruple the 10.7% drop in walkable neighborhoods. Housing supply in car-dependent neighborhoods started dropping in July 2019, and has declined by bigger margins every month since the coronavirus pandemic hit in March.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-71754 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-1-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-1-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-1-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-1-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The larger price increase and tighter supply in car-dependent areas this fall is due partly to the pandemic-driven popularity of suburban and rural neighborhoods, as people seek spacious homes for remote work and schooling and place less of an emphasis on commute times. Even before the pandemic, home prices in car-dependent areas had generally been rising faster, a trend that began in November 2018. That\u2019s because many buyers who were priced out of expensive walkable neighborhoods turned to more affordable car-dependent areas. But even though walkable neighborhoods aren\u2019t quite as hot as car-dependent places, prices were up and supply was down by double digits in walkable areas in October.<\/p>\n<p>Homes in both car-dependent and walkable places were significantly more competitive in October than they were last year. The typical home in a car-dependent neighborhood nationwide spent 30 days on the market before going under contract\u201415 fewer days than the year before\u2014compared with 31 days for homes in walkable neighborhoods, 11 fewer days than last year.<\/p>\n<h3>Housing Market Summary, Walkable Versus Car-Dependent Neighborhoods, October\u00a02020<\/h3>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-195\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-195\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><th class=\"column-2\">Walkable areas,\u00a0October 2020<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Car-dependent areas, October 2020<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Median sale price<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$383,000<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">$345,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Median sale price YoY<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">11.3%<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">14.9%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Homes sold YoY<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">17.9%<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">23.0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Homes for sale YoY<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">-10.7%<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">-39.2%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">New listings YoY<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">15.3%<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">5.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Median days on market<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">31 (-11 days YoY)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">30 (-15 days YoY)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Sold above list<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">36.0% (+11 pts YoY)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">35.0% (+14 pts.
