Home prices have been climbing for the past few years. And while that has presented affordability challenges for buyers in some markets, it's also produced big gains for homeowners who've sold a home recently. Take, for example, new estimates showing that, nationally, the typical home seller, after living somewhere for eight years, made nearly $40,000 on their home sale. That's good news for homeowners. And, in some markets, the sales gain is even higher. Homeowners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area saw a median sales gain of $56,297 after just 7.4 years and, in San Jose, sellers' median price gain was nearly $300,000. But while that may be encouraging for anyone who hopes to sell soon, there is a flip side. Because many home sellers hope to use any money they make on their home sale as a down payment for their next home, the amount gained on a sale may not seem as significant, especially if you're buying a home in the same market and price range. For buyers in Eastern, NC, the home market has remained strong with a good inventory of new and existing homes, giving buyers a nice selection. This has kept prices moderate in this area so many more people have been able to get into the market that might not have been able to otherwise.
