Mortgage Rates Are Still Tumbling Time To Buy

Mortgage Rates Are Still Tumbling Time To Buy




U.S. Homes Sell at Strongest Pace Since 2007 


Americans snapped up houses in May almost as soon as properties were listed, fueling the strongest sales rate in nearly a decade. Sales of existing homes rose 1.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.53 million, the highest level since February 2007, according to the National Association of Realtors.

People remain intent on buying homes, despite the low inventory of properties on the market that has caused prices to rise. The elevated demand likely stems from low mortgage rates and a relatively healthy jobs picture with unemployment at 4.7 percent, even with a recent slowdown in hiring.

"May's existing home sales numbers suggest that healthy demand continues to support a recovering housing market, but that inventory woes are preventing a full recovery to pre-recession levels," said Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist at online real estate firm Trulia.

Homes sold in May after just 32 days on the market, the fastest pace ever measured by the Realtors since they began tracking the figure in 2011. Homes stayed on the market on average for 40 days a year ago. The median home sales price was $239,700 in April, a 4.7 percent increase over the past 12 months.

The sales gains have failed to convince more current homeowners to list their properties. Many are still recovering equity lost during the crash. For some of them, a sale would fail to generate enough of a profit to cover the expense of buying a new home. The number of listings has fallen 5.7 percent from a year ago, meaning homebuyers have fewer and fewer options.

But Americans still want to own homes if they can afford it, according to a separate report released by the Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies. The pressures of student debt, rising rents and the leftover wreckage from the housing bust have restrained people's ability to buy, even though the dream remains alive.

Sales have been strong enough so far this year that the Realtors expect total sales to rise 3 percent from 2015, revising an initial forecast of nearly flat sales in 2016.

First-time buyers accounted for 30 percent of sales, well below the historic average of 40 percent.

The British vote to exit the European Union remained the primary influence on U.S. financial markets over the past week. U.S. stocks have recovered their losses, while mortgage rates have continued to improve. As a result, mortgage rates ended the week at the best levels in years.
Understand the difference between "listing prices" (what sellers are asking for) and "sold prices" (what buyers are willing to pay).
By comparing these price trends, you'll have a good idea of where the market is heading. The median listing and sold property prices are calculated based on the market activity each month.
Some sales are not immediately available from public records. As they become available, the data are updated.
