  • Homebuyer demand in the US has stalled for the past several weeks likely due to stubbornly high mortgage rates. This has led to a decrease in the number of mortgage purchase applications from a year ago which is a leading indicator of future closed home sales in the following one to two months. In today’s video, I also share other leading indicators of the US housing market as well so we can gauge which direction we are headed.

    Why are housing prices so sticky? I saw some data from the 08 crash and even then it took like 2 years to reach the bottom - i.e. 2010.

    • @JasonWalter1
      @JasonWalter1  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Due to inventory remaining at low levels, even though it's up from a year ago though. Also, keep in mind the new home construction stats are way different compared to the existing home market. Here's a recent video I made about that: czcams.com/video/Rx4VNa_hXI0/video.html

      @asolano Před 4 měsíci +2

      Prices bottomed in the 4th quarter of 2011. More than 6 million homes were foreclosed on in total, with many more being sold as short sales. It took a long time to get inventory back to more normal levels and for prices to stabilize.

    Thank you for the content. Are interested rates high? Or are they just getting back to what was normal before we had our fed hold rates down for a long time.? I think this is the new norm. 3% interest rates are not coming back anytime soon and this is the new norm.

    • @JasonWalter1
      @JasonWalter1  Před 4 měsíci

      You bet! It's high when compared to the 3-5% rates over the past few years and high when accounting for the increase in prices.

    • @JBoy340a
      @JBoy340a Před 4 měsíci

      I agree that the 3% rates were an anomaly. The average over the last 50 or so years is closer to 7%. I paid over 10% on my first home and that was a deal compared to the general market.

    Jason, someone on the other real estate channels brought up a good point and that is median prices are increasing because the majority of the houses being sold are luxury high end ones. These are the all cash sales and i believe about half of all purchases out there now are rich all cash buyers. Have you done an analysis of prices yoy using price ranges?

    • @JasonWalter1
      @JasonWalter1  Před 4 měsíci

      I did some research for you and found there's some truth to that (at least based on data from NAR). Here you go: cdn.nar.realtor/sites/default/files/documents/ehs-02-2024-supplemental-data-2024-03-21.pdf?_gl=1*1m29ps2*_gcl_au*MTA3Mzk0NzgxLjE3MDkyMjk4NDE.

    Why is nobody else concerned that 1/3 of home buyers are cash buyers (and a major influx of illegals... coincidence?)? And the refi rate is 1/3 of home owners? These are massive numbers. I'd need the market to drop close to 40% just to afford a house today. I am at a loss for words with the cost of SFR.

I think, why wouldn't they as this could be an easy way to hide funds, revenues, ... Do I think it's 30%? Absolutely not. I'm not saying that's where ALL the purchases are coming from, but even if it's 10% that's a large number.

    Thinking new listing's have started to go down (weekly from redfin data center) due to the NAR settlement? People seem to want to wait to list to save 3%? Thoughts Jason?🎉

    • @JasonWalter1
      @JasonWalter1  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thanks for your question. The NAR settlement doesn't make commissions less than they are now. NAR is agreeing to omit the buyer's agent commission being offered by the seller from the MLS. So a commission can still be given to the buyer's agent (it just can't be noted on the MLS). Hard to know exactly what will happen but certainly there will be some changes. My guess is the reason why listings remain relatively low is from people locked into low rates (around 90% of homeowners who have a mortgage have a rate less than 6% per Resiclub).

      No. The economy is doing OK. And in O8 the collapse was caused by people buying homes that had no business owning a home. There was so much excess money coming in from Asia that loans like NINA (No Income, No Asset verification) were common. So many people got into homes that they never should have tried to own.
