Imagine a housing market with just 6% mortgage rates or lower — it would be growing like what we see in the new home sales market. The growth isn’t just in active inventory but also new listings. When mortgage rates fall, demand picks up.

Going into 2023, people thought housing inventory would skyrocket, home prices would crash, and we would see the housing market of 2008 all over again. We created this weekly tracker at the end of 2022 to give people a live weekly outlook on everything that drives the housing market and which factors to follow.

The housing market welcomed the news of lower mortgage rates last week after four reports showed that the labor market isn’t as tight as it seems and that the fear of 1970s-entrenched inflation was a lousy narrative. Active inventory rose by 823 single-family homes and new listing data is trending at all-time lows.

Naturally, some people thought home prices would crash in 2023 as many market players said prices always follow volume. What 2023 data has shown me is that even with mortgage rates heading toward 8%, new listings data didn’t take a new leg lower — it stayed remarkably consistent all year long.

However, the real positive story here is that even with new listing data trending at an all-time low, we are getting the growth in active listings we traditionally see in the spring and summer. In addition, new listing data turned negative year over year after the second half of 2022.

Weekly housing inventory data — both active inventory and new listings — are prone to one-week moves that deviate from a trend, especially if people are going Easter egg hunting. So, the fact that active inventory and new listings data fell last week isn’t a big deal. However, for now, this is a plus for the U.S.

Let’s take a look at the inventory data this year to test this premise, since for many months it has been a working theory of mine that new listings data behavior last year marked a bottom and even going into 2024 we should see more sellers. Here is a look at inventory last week: Weekly inventory change (Feb.

We have often discussed that the housing market dynamics changed starting Nov. The other big story with housing inventory is that new listing data has been trending negative year over year since the end of June 2022. We had new listings growth from 2021 to 2022, but that’s not the case this year.

Lower mortgage rates tend to take housing supply off the market and demand has been picking up lately as rates have fallen.

I believe we should get more sellers in 2024 than in 2023, but that doesn’t necessarily mean home prices will fall. This is why following the housing market tracker tied to the 10-year yield, mortgage rates, and purchase application data will be as critical as last year to tell you what’s going on in the housing market.

We created the weekly Housing Market Tracker because housing data has been so wild since 2020. The housing market madness persisted last week as inventory fell and higher mortgage rates took a bigger bite out of purchase application data. A traditional seller is a conventional buyer most of the time.

The 2022 housing market was savagely unhealthy , with all-time lows in inventory leading to massive bidding wars and price spikes until the Fed put a screeching halt to all of it with rate hikes that resulted in the most significant one-year spike in mortgage rate history. How I look at rates is intertwined with how I look at the bond market.

The housing market was crazy again last week. New listing data collapsed, but we are putting an asterisk on that data line for this week. This assumes the spreads are wide as the mortgage-back securities market is still very stressed. This bond market is screaming at the Fed to cut rates.

I said the 10-year yield would only break below 3.37% if the labor market breaks — this level is the “Gandalf line” I have used all year. One concern with higher mortgage rates was that more sellers — who are traditional buyers — would not list their homes. In Q3, the U.S. economy grew above 5%, and jobless claims headed lower.

I am a very pro-housing supply person and will feel much better about the housing market when we return to pre-COVID-19 levels for total active listings. New listings were trending at the lowest levels ever in 2023, but that should not be the case in 2024. It’s not a lot, but anything is positive, which I will take.

We saw some good growth this week, and hopefully, in 2024, we can close the gap and get back to 2021-2022 data on new listings. That is the critical period for new listing data to grow; remember, most sellers are buyers. However, this has always been about the labor market and jobless claims data.

As I have said before, given the history of economic cycles, when the market believes the Fed rate-hike cycle is over, bond yields will rally and mortgage rates will fall. This is what we see, and it’s much needed; we need more new listings and not fewer. Mortgage rates went from 7.10% to 6.62% and ended the week at 6.64%.

As interest rates strive to find equilibrium following their sharp decline in 2020, buyers and sellers have had to accept that the era of pandemic-induced low rates is over, ushering in a period of higher monthly mortgage payments. The slower market activity in the following year reflects a move towards equilibrium.

The screeching you heard in June was the sound of brakes being applied to the housing market across the U.S. The King County housing market has seen inventory increase by 55% in the past month, while the number of homes going under contract fell 22% from May to the lowest June level since 2011. How much will it affect housing prices?
