In the single week ending December 13, pending sales were up 28% from the same week a year earlier.<\/li>\n<li>New listings of homes for sale were up 13% from a year earlier.<\/li>\n<li>Active listings (the number of homes listed for sale at any point during the period) fell 30% from 2019 to a new all-time low.<\/li>\n<li>39% of homes that went under contract had an accepted offer within the first two weeks on the market. This measure has experienced some slight seasonal cooling, but is still well above the 26% it was at this same time a year ago.<\/li>\n<li>The average sale-to-list price ratio, which measures how close homes are selling to their asking prices, rose to 99.5%\u2014an all-time high and 1.5 percentage points higher than a year earlier.<\/li>\n<li>For the week ending December 13, the seasonally adjusted Redfin Homebuyer Demand Index\u2014a measure of requests for home tours and other services from Redfin agents\u2014was up 32% from pre-pandemic levels in January and February. The fact that the Demand Index has held relatively steady since July indicates that there is no shortage of people interested in buying homes. Instead, a decline in the number of listings may be restricting actual sales.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mba.org\/2020-press-releases\/december\/mortgage-applications-increase-in-latest-mba-weekly-survey\">Mortgage purchase applications increased 2% week over week<\/a> (seasonally-adjusted) and were up 26% from a year earlier (unadjusted) during the week ending December 11. For the week ending December 17, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freddiemac.com\/pmms\/\">30-year mortgage rates fell to 2.67%<\/a>, another new all-time low. Rates have been below 3% since late July.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAt a time of year when the housing market usually goes into hibernation, homebuyers are doing anything but hibernate,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/darylfairweather\/\">Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather<\/a>. \u201cWith the coronavirus vaccine set to roll out just as the housing market typically kicks into full gear, a combination of seasonality and the pandemic\u2019s final chapter is likely to keep the housing market hot well into 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\"
