# Redfin Reports Home Prices Posted the Biggest Increase in Over a Year in April

In Seattle, the median home sale price in the U.S. increased by 2.4% year over year, marking the largest rise since March 2025. This surge was attributed to a growing number of house hunters entering the market due to a stabilizing job market. A recent report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage backed by Rocket, revealed these findings. The April jobs report displayed better-than-anticipated hiring rates, which in turn lowered the risk of a recession. This positive economic indicator likely contributed to an increase in housing demand, with pending home sales reaching their highest level since February 2023, showing a 2% rise last month.
