max-height: 1000000px;">ATTOM Data Solutions</a>, curator of the nation’s premier property database, today released its Year-End 2020 U.S. Home Sales Report, which shows that home sellers nationwide in 2020 realized a home-price gain of $68,843 on the typical sale, up from $53,700 in 2019 and $48,500 two years ago. Profits rose in more than 90 percent of housing markets with enough data to analyze and the latest figure, based on median purchase and resale prices, marked the highest level in the United States since at least 2005.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-height: 1000000px;"><span style="color: white;">The $68,843 profit on median priced single-family homes and condos represented a 34.7 percent return on investment compared to the original purchase price, up from 29.4 percent last year and 27.2 percent in 2018, to the highest average home-seller return on investment since 2006.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-height: 1000000px;"><span style="color: white;">Both raw profits and ROI have improved nationwide for nine straight years. And last year’s gain in ROI – up more than five percentage points – marked the largest annual increase since 2017. Profits shot up as the national median home price rose 12.8 percent in 2020 to $266,250 – a record high.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-height: 1000000px;"><span style="color: white;">The combination of rising profits and record prices came during a year when the national housing market fended off damage that afflicted wide swaths of the U.S. economy after the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020 began spreading across the country in February. Unemployment rose to levels not seen since the Great Depression as millions of businesses temporarily or permanently closed or cut back. But a housing market boom that began in 2012 continued into its ninth year as a spate of buyers relatively unaffected financially by the pandemic – including a cluster looking to escape virus-prone urban areas – chased a declining supply of houses and pushed prices ever higher.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-height: 1000000px;"><span style="color: white;">“Last year marked a unique year in the history of home prices and profits in the United States. A once-in-a-century health crisis tore through much of the nation’s economy but seemed to have the opposite effect on the housing market,” said Todd Teta, chief product officer at ATTOM Data Solutions. “Demand remained strong as people who could afford the space and relative safety of single-family homes did just that, aided by super-low mortgage rates and a strong stock market. But they went after a narrowing supply of housing stock, so prices soared and so did seller profits. While it’s unclear how long that will last, in the annals of history, there will be few years recorded as better for sellers and more challenging for buyers.”</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-height: 1000000px;"><span style="color: white;">Among 132 metropolitan statistical areas with a population greater than 200,000 and sufficient sales data, those in western states continued to reap the highest returns on investment, with concentrations on or near the West Coast. The top 10 metro areas with the highest ROIs on typical home sales were all in the West, led by in San Jose, CA (87.3 percent return on investments); Seattle, WA (72.1 percent); Salem, OR (69.6 percent); Spokane, WA (69.2 percent) and San Francisco, CA (68.2 percent).</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-height: 1000000px;"><a href="https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020.jpg" style="box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1000000px;"><span style="color: white;"><img alt="Seller Gains Chart - 2020" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-30852 lazyloaded" data-sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" data-src="https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020-300x183.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020-300x183.jpg 300w, https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020-768x470.jpg 768w, https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020.jpg 999w" height="183" loading="lazy" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020-300x183.jpg" srcset="https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020-300x183.jpg 300w, https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020-768x470.jpg 768w, https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020.jpg 999w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-height: 1000000px; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1;" width="300" /></span></a></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-height: 1000000px;"><a href="https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020.jpg" style="box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1000000px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; color: white; font-weight: 700; max-height: 1000000px;">Prices rise at least 10 percent in more than half the country as most markets hit new highs</span></a></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; max-height: 1000000px;"><a href="https://www.attomdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Historical-Home-Seller-Gains-and-ROI-Chart-2020.jpg" style="box-sizing: inherit; max-height: 1000000px;"><span style="color: white;">The U.S. median home price increased 12.8 percent in 2020, hitting an all-time annual high of $266,250.

<span style="color: white;"><strong style="font-style: italic;">SELLING SPREE... </strong>After recent gains, <strong><em>stocks sank steeply for the week.</em></strong> This was blamed on the Fed’s cautious outlook (nothing new), and the coronavirus (previously ignored), so <strong><em>the real reason was plain old profit-taking.</em></strong></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt !important; padding: 0px !important;">
<span style="color: white;"><em>The big outcome of the Fed meet was no rate hike expected till </em>at least<em> 2023. As chair Powell put it, </em><strong>“We’re not even thinking about thinking about raising rates.”</strong><em> They’ll also keep buying bonds, so mortgage rates should stay low too.<strong></strong></em></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt !important; padding: 0px !important;">
<span style="color: white;">The Fed may be cautious, but <strong><em>initial jobless claims fell for the tenth straight week and 2.5 million jobs came back in May,</em></strong> suggesting the economy bottomed then, making the COVID recession, though sharp, the shortest on record.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt !important; padding: 0px !important;">
<em style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: white;">The week ended with the Dow down 5.6%, to 25,606; the S&P 500 down 4.8%, to 3,041; and the Nasdaq down 2.3%, to 9,589.</span></em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt !important; padding: 0px !important;">
<span style="color: white;">Profit-taking in stocks sent traders over to bonds. The UMBS 3.5% ended UP 0.11, at $105.47. <strong><em>The national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate barely rose in Freddie Mac's weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Remember, mortgage rates can be extremely volatile, so check with your mortgage professional for up-to-the-minute information.</em></strong></span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="color: white;">Similar to the previous order, the governor has limited activities of all Minnesotans to only those that are most essential and has stressed the importance of complying with the practice of social distancing at all times.</span></div>
