Mortgage Rate Infliction Points

What’s Happening In The Real Estate Market?

Market data as of April 2023. For the latest numbers in your area, see my live Altos Research market report.

For my real estate friends and consumer friends, here are a few updates on the real estate market.

First, these are National stats, and as we know, real estate is hyper-local. You can check out your local zip code on this link.

In most US markets, we are still in a seller’s market… with a supply-constrained market and mortgage rates dropping below an infliction point, the spring market will be rewarding for sellers and frustrating for many buyers unless you are going into a new home build.

The challenge: inventory! There is NO indication on a National basis of any significant decline in prices. (hyper-local market exceptions occur)

Home Price Appreciation leveling out according to Case-Schiller and FHFA Top 20 Markets. Markets like Atlanta; Boston, Charlotte, and Chicago seeing solid appreciation. While markets like Seattle; San Francisco, San Diego, and Portland are creating price opportunities.

Cliff notes? We are seeing the lowest percentage of new listings on the market with a price reduction than we’ve seen for some time. Home buyers are buying at these prices. This is a supply-constrained market. Homeowners, in general, are simply unwilling to sell at all. New home builders are gaining a bigger share of housing units sold.

Check out a few of the charts below. Helpful?

Always a DM away. If you need hyper-local agents, I know one in just about every major market across the Americas, Europe, Australia, and the Philippines.
