(The Epoch Times)—The median sales price of homes in the United States hit a record high of $396,500 for the four weeks ending June 15, with buyers now in a favorable position to negotiate prices, real estate brokerage Redfin said in a June 20 statement.
“While the median sale price is at an all-time high, it’s roughly $26,000 lower than the median asking price of $422,238,” a 6 percent discount, the company said.
Homes are fetching less than the asking price since the housing market currently has more sellers than buyers, which gives buyers the ability to negotiate down prices, according to the brokerage. Total listings of homes for sale are up 14.5 percent year-over-year.
Redfin expects the mismatch between supply and demand to result in a drop in home sale prices nationwide by the end of this year. At $396,500, the median sales price is 1 percent higher on an annual basis.
Home prices are at record highs even though the spring housing market has been “fairly cool.” This is because prices are not reflecting the true imbalance between sellers and buyers in the market, the brokerage said.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
