Total existing home sales were down in November when compared to the previous month and were also down from November of last year.However, distressed sales made up a much smaller portion of the total in November than they did the previous year and by comparison conventional sales appear to have increased.Less-distressed sales are a positive sign for the market and should help potential sellers who no longer have to compete with as many discounted homes as they would have in recent years. Prices continued their modest seasonal decline in November, while still increasing compared to the same month of the previous year. Recent Federal Reserve policy changes will likely mean slightly higher interest rates moving into the New Year, however, market reactions so far have been positive and rates have edged up very slowly. Those considering purchasing a home may wish to take advantage of the current break in price gains and lock in mortgage rates as they continue to trend upward.
INTEREST RATES
In December, the DFederal Reserve announced it would begin
to curtail its purchase of non-traditional assets also known as quantitative
easing. As the Fed tentatively draws back its level of asset purchases, mortgage rates will likely
continue to slowly increase. Currently, Freddie Mac reports the following
figures: 30-year fixed rate at 4.48%; 15-year fixed rate at 3.52%;
5/1adjustable rate at 3.0%.
HOME SALES
According to the National Association of Realtors, the
seasonally adjusted rate of home sales declined 4.3% from last year to an
annual rate of 4.9 million homes. The rate reported in November of last year, however,
the decline in the portion of sales made up of distressed properties, from 22%
last year to 14% this year, means we likely are still seeing positive
year-over-year gains in conventional home sales. As banks begin to implement new lending
regulations, credit tightness is likely hampering home sales and may continue
to do so in the beginning of the New Year.
HOME PRICE
Median home prices dipped slightly from October to November,
dropping 0.6% from $197,500 to $196,300 according to NAR. Year –over-year home
prices continue to post significant gains with prices up 9.4% from last November. However, November is the first month since
the same month of the previous year to have a year-over-year gain of less than
10%.
INVENTORY
The level of total housing inventory in the country dropped
in November to 2.09 million homes, down 1.9% from the previous month. Months of supply of inventory, however, ticked
up slightly due to the lower pace of sales this month. The number of months of supply represents how
many months it would take the current level of inventory to sell given the
current sales paces if no other homes were added to the market. Supply in October represented 5.1 months, up
4.1% from the previous month, and up 6.3% from November of the previous year.
