Since 2014, we’ve not seen the credit housing boom that we saw from 2002-2005. The housing market can’t replicate the type of massive credit expansion we saw from 2002-2005, so the price-growth story has more to do with inventory collapsing to all-time lows. Even today, the MBA purchase application index is below 2008 levels.

No seller must use a real estate agent to sell a home — ever. They may buy directly from a seller, whether that seller is represented by an agent or not. RealTrends + Harris Insights ‘ studies from 2002, 2005, 2006, 2011, 2014, and 2019 all show that consumers know that commissions are negotiable.

My concern now is that some sellers are feeling stressed about this market, which should never happen because this is the best seller market ever. However, a seller is also a natural homebuyer, unless they’re an investor. You can see why some sellers are stressed now. People who sell need to live somewhere.

The lack of sellers is also a demand problem and what we saw after June of 2022 is that sellers called it quits earlier and faster in the year than usual, resulting in total existing home sales totaling 5,030,000 to end 2022.

There’s a showdown at the housing market corral between homebuyers and sellers. This means the housing boom period of 2002-2005 had major credit tightening, which won’t happen this time around when the next recession hits. Home prices ebb and flow, pricing was working in the sense that sellers met homebuyers to a degree.

Between 2002-2005 in many markets, the real estate market was scorching, much like it is today. As appraisers, we faced tremendous pressure from buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and loan officers during the previous run-up. We are seeing that as a profession again. Is this any different than last time? How do we combat this?

A traditional seller is primarily a homebuyer, so not only do we lose the inventory for sale when this happens, but we also lose a buyer.

Home sellers strive to get the highest price from the best offers and homebuilders have the pricing power over consumers.

Fewer sellers need to adjust their price because, again, it’s a seller’s market. It means they’re down.

For the past few years, with inventory at historically low levels , sellers were coming pretty close to naming their price and buyers were paying. The low rates made it possible to offer more on a home as the cost of borrowing was lower and therefore, sellers weren’t the ones competing, buyers were. The same will be true for sellers.
