Home prices increased for the 23rd consecutive month and new single-family home sales rose by 9.6 percent. Zillow reported that Atlanta inventory rose 10.7 percent year-over-year in January.
Unfortunately, extreme winter weather caused U.S. home construction to fall 16 percent in January, and Zillow attributed declining mortgage rates to the Ukraine crisis.
