The survey is sent to 50,000 REALTORS who are selected through simple random sampling. To increase the response rate, the survey is
also sent to respondents in the previous three surveys who provided their email addresses. The number of responses to a specific question
varies because the question may not be applicable to the respondent or because of non-response. To encourage survey participation, eight
REALTORS are randomly selected to receive a gift card.
2 The team acknowledges Jessica Lautz, Managing Director, Survey Research and Communications, Meredith Dunn, Research
Communications Manager, Amanda Riggs, Research Survey Analyst, and Brandi Snowden, Research Survey Analyst, for their inputs in
improving the survey and in editing and disseminating the report. Acknowledgement also goes to Lisa Herceg, Director, Marketing
Research, who sends out the survey to members.

Summary
While local conditions vary, the REALTORS Buyer Traffic Index and the REALTORS Confidence
IndexCurrent Conditions for single-family homes remained above 50 in December 2016, indicating
that more respondents reported strong than weak conditions. Both indices were higher than their
levels in December 2015 and were essentially unchanged from November 2016 levels. 3 The
REALTORS Seller Traffic Index slightly increased from one year ago, but it has remained below 50
since November 2008, indicating that seller activity is still weak.
In December 2016, first-time homebuyers accounted for 32 percent of sales (32 percent in 2016; 30
percent in 2015). 4 With fewer new foreclosures, distressed properties accounted for seven percent of
sales (seven percent in 2016; nine percent in 2015), purchases for investment purposes made up 15
percent of sales (14 percent in 2016; 14 percent in 2015), and cash sales accounted for 21 percent of
sales (23 percent in 2016; 24 percent in 2015). Amid tight supply, half of properties that sold in
December 2016 were on the market for 52 days or less compared to 58 days in December 2015 (43 in
2016; 50 in 2015).
Lack of supply and appraisal-related problems were the main issues reported by REALTORS.
Respondents also expressed concern about the impact of rising mortgage rates. Overall, respondents
were confident about the outlook over the next six months for the single-family homes, townhomes, and
condominiums markets, with the six-month outlook confidence indices for these markets registering at
50 and above.

An index greater than 50 indicates the number of respondents who reported strong (index=100) outnumbered those who reported
weak (index=0). An index equal to 50 indicates an equal number of respondents reporting strong and weak market conditions. The
index is not adjusted for seasonality effects.
4 NARs 2016 Profile of Home Buyer and Sellers (HBS) reports that among primary residence home buyers, 35 percent were first-time
home buyers, up from 32 percent in 2015. The HBS surveys primary residence home buyers, while the monthly RCI Survey surveys
REALTORS and also captures purchases for investment purposes and vacation/second homes.

Looking back historically, while the REALTORS Seller Traffic Index has not registered above 50 since
tracking began, from 2009 to 2011 the REALTORS Seller Traffic Index exceeded the REALTORS
Buyer Traffic Index. Starting in 2012, as the housing market recovery began to gain momentum, the
REALTORS Buyer Traffic Index grew at a faster pace than the REALTORS Seller Traffic Index by
increasingly large margins in the last three years.
The REALTORS Buyer Traffic Index provides information on the level of homebuying demand or interest, which may materialize as a
contract to purchase or closed sale after two or three months.

Local conditions vary in each state, but the REALTORS Buyer Traffic Index indicates that buyer traffic
conditions can be characterized as moderate to very strong in many states except in the few states
where buyer traffic was weak. 6 Buyer traffic conditions were very strong only in the state of
Washington and the District of Columbia.
The REALTORS Seller Traffic Index indicates seller traffic conditions were weak in most states,
although 14 states had moderate seller traffic conditions. Only the District of Columbia had strong
seller traffic conditions. Respondents reported that demand is strong, but there is a severe lack of supply,
especially of homes that are affordable to buyers.
6
To increase the number of observations for each state, the index is based on data for the last three months. Small states such as AK, ND,
SD, MT, VT, WY, WV, DE, and D.C., may have fewer than 30 observations. Respondents are asked, How do you rate the past month's
buyer/seller traffic in the neighborhood(s) or area(s) where you make most of your sales? Respondents rated conditions or expectations as
Strong (100), Moderate (50), and Weak (0). The responses are compiled into a diffusion index. For graphical purposes, index values
25 and lower are labeled Very Weak, values greater than 25 to 45 are labeled Weak, values greater than 45 to 55 are labeled
Moderate, values greater than 55 to 75 are labeled Strong, and values greater than 75 are labeled Very Strong. The range of +/-5
around 50 approximates the historical margins of error at the 95 percent confidence level for small states.
Employment conditions affect the supply and demand for housing. The chart that follows shows the
change in non-farm employment from November 2015 to November 2016 by state. Employment growth
was strongest in Washington and Florida, and buyer traffic was moderate to very strong in these
states. Non-farm employment contracted in the oil-producing states of North Dakota, Wyoming, Kansas,
Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Mississippi. 7 In some of these states, the job cutbacks have led
to moderate seller traffic conditions, based on the REALTORS Seller Traffic Index. Texas has been
more resilient than other oil-producing states, with employment growing slightly above the national
average. 8

The REALTORS Confidence IndexSix-Month Outlook indices for all properties have been trending
upward since 2012, and on an annual basis, 2016 was a record year for the indices for each property
type.
9 Respondents are asked, What are your expectations for the housing market over the next six months compared to the current state of the
market in the neighborhood(s) or area(s) where you make most of your sales? The responses for each type of property are compiled into
an index. An index of 50 indicates a balance of respondents having weak (index=0) and strong (index=100) expectations or all
respondents having moderate (=50) expectations. The index is not adjusted for seasonality.

In the single-family homes market, the outlook in the next six months is strong in many states to very
strong in the District of Columbia and in 14 states. 11 Only North Dakota registered with a moderate
outlook in the most recent period. In the townhomes and condominiums markets, the outlook is more
evenly mixed, from weak to strong in most states, with only the District of Columbia registering a
very strong outlook for both townhomes and condominiums. Post-election factors may boost the
outlook in the District of Columbia. 12
11 To increase the number of observations for each state, the index is based on data for the last three months. Small states such as AK, ND,
SD, MT, VT, WY, WV, DE, and D.C., may have fewer than 30 observations. Respondents rated conditions or expectations as Strong
(100), Moderate (50), and Weak (0). The responses are compiled into a diffusion index. A diffusion index greater than 50 means that
more respondents rated conditions as Strong than Weak. For graphical purposes, index values 25 and lower are labeled Very Weak,
values greater than 25 to 45 are labeled Weak, values greater than 45 to 55 are labeled Moderate, values greater than 55 to 75 are
labeled Strong, and values greater than 75 are labeled Very Strong. The range of +/-5 around 50 approximates the historical margins of
error at the 95 percent confidence level for small states.

Most Respondents Reported Constant or Higher Prices Compared to One Year Ago
Given the low level of inventory of homes for sale in many areas coupled with strong buyer traffic in
most areas, 87 percent of respondents reported that home prices either remained constant or rose in
December 2016 compared to one year ago (84 percent in November 2016; 87 percent in December
2015). 13

Respondents are asked, Considering your average home transaction from the past year, at what average price would the very same home
be sold today?
10
Because conditions are competitive for buyers, offers continue to be high relative to asking price; 34
percent of properties sold at or above the original listing price (37 percent in November 2016; 32 percent
in December 2015). When this survey first gathered this information in December 2012, only 28 percent
of properties sold at or above the original list price.

Respondents are asked, For the last house that you closed in the past month, how long was it on the market from listing time to the time
the seller accepted the buyers offer? The median is the number of days at which half of the properties stayed on the market. In generating
the median days on market at the state level, we use data for the last three surveys to have close to 30 observations. Small states such as
AK, ND, SD, MT, VT, WY, WV, DE, and D.C., may have fewer than 30 observations.

During OctoberDecember 2016, properties were typically on the market for less than 31 days in
Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Utah, Nebraska, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia.
Looking at the values over the last few years, in most states the median length of time that properties
stay on the market has trended downwards, though the graphs also show that days on market in some
states vary seasonally. 18 Local conditions vary, and the data is provided for REALTORS who want to
compare local markets against other states and the national summary.
17
Days on market usually refers to the time from listing date to contract date.
To increase the number of observations for each state, the analysis is based on a 3-month rolling period. The states shown in these charts
are those with approximately 150 observations.

First-time buyers accounted for 35 percent of all home buyers based on data from NARs 2016 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers
(HBS), up from 32 percent in 2016. The HBS is a survey of primary residence home buyers and does not capture investor purchases but
does cover both existing and new home sales from July 2015 to June 2016. The RCI Survey is a survey of REALTORS about their
transactions and captures purchases for investment purposes and second homes for existing homes.
20 Mortgage rates in this report refer to the average contract rates on 30-year conventional mortgages reported by Freddie Mac. The average
30-year mortgage rate was 3.54 percent in the week of November 3, 2016. It broke above four percent, to 4.03 percent, in the week of
November 23, and it climbed to 4.32 percent in the week of December 29. The average rate eased to 4.12 percent in the week of January
12, 2017, with rates likely to remain above four percent during 2017.

Among sales to first-time buyers who purchased a property in OctoberDecember 2016 and who
obtained a mortgage, 66 percent made a downpayment of zero to six percent (65 percent in November
2016; 65 percent in December 2015). In June 2009 when NAR first collected this information, 74
percent of first-time homebuyers obtained loans with a zero to six percent downpayment. Homebuyers
who put down low downpayments are likely to be first-time homebuyers. 25 The Federal Housing
Authority (FHA) and the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) have implemented policies to
make credit more widely available, such as FHAs reduction of its annual mortgage insurance premiums
and the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) acceptance of three percent downpayment
25
According to NARs 2016 Profile of Home Buyer and Sellers (HBS), first-time buyers typically made a downpayment of six percent,
while repeat buyers typically made a downpayment of 14 percent.

mortgages. However, the impact of these measures in attracting first-time homebuyers appears to be
modest for a variety of reasons. Lack of information about these products may be one reason. In fact,
NARs 2016 Q3 Housing Opportunities and Market Experience (HOME) Survey found that only 13
percent of those aged 34 or under believe they need a downpayment of five percent or less. 26
Additionally, although low downpayment loans are available, some buyers may want to save for a
bigger downpayment to meet underwriting standards (e.g., debt-to-income ratios, loan-to-value ratios),
save on mortgage insurance, or get a lower interest rate.

Among contracts that had a delayed settlement (33 percent), issues related to obtaining financing and
appraisal issues were the primary causes of the delay. Regarding appraisal issues, respondents reported
facing appraisal delays due to a shortage of appraisers, valuations that are not in line with market
conditions, and out-of-town appraisers who are not familiar with local conditions.
