Redfin is reporting that national median home prices were up 2.8% (year-over-year) in June to a record high of $311k, which they say is being powered by record-low mortgage rates. In addition, they report that median prices increased in all but four of the 85 largest metro areas that Redfin tracks.

The winning offers are almost always all cash with zero contingencies.”
