Housing Market Forecast for 2024 Elevated mortgage rates, out-of-reach home prices and record-low housing stock are the perennial weeds that experts say hopeful home buyers can expect to contend with this spring—and beyond. “The housing market is likely to continue to face the dual affordability constraints of high home prices and elevated interest rates in 2024,” said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae, in an emailed statement. “Hotter-than-expected inflation data and strong payroll numbers are likely to apply more upward pressure to mortgage rates this year than we’d previously forecast.” “If the 2020-2021 housing market was too hot, then the 2023 market was probably too cold, but 2024 won’t yet be just right,” Fleming said in his 2024 forecast. We’re definitely looking forward to a better housing market in 2024 as interest rates start to settle around 6% or even lower. - Forbes

No one knows where mortgage rates are headed for sure, and the experts we talked to recommend not focusing on it. Expectations around both home prices and housing inventory vary wildly depending on where you are. Regardless of the market, home buyers and sellers need to determine for themselves whether it’s the right time to make a move based on their personal and financial situation.Read the full article here https://lnkd.in/gQzHvA8Y

News You Can Use:Pressing Need for More Housing InventoryExisting Home Sales fell 2% from August to September to a 3.96-million-unit annualized pace, reaching a 13-year low, per NAR. Sales were also 15.4% lower than they were in September of last year. This report measures closings on existing homes and is a critical gauge for taking the pulse of the housing sector.What’s the bottom line?Tight inventory and elevated mortgage rates remain key constraints on home sales. There were 1.13 million homes available for sale at the end of September, down from 1.23 million a year earlier and nearly half the levels seen in 2019. Plus, inventory is even tighter than that figure implies, as many homes counted in existing inventory are under contract and not truly available for purchase. In fact, there were only 702,000 “active listings” at the end of last month.NAR’s Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun, noted that “there was a “pressing need for more housing supply.” Yet despite ongoing inventory constraints, homes continue to sell quickly (averaging just 21 days on the market). And 69% of homes sold in less than a month, showing that demand is strong for what’s out there.What to Look for This Week:More housing data is ahead, with September’s New and Pending Home Sales releasing on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. Also on Thursday, look for the latest Jobless Claims and the first reading for third quarter GDP. A crucial inflation reading will be delivered on Friday via the Fed’s favored measure, Personal Consumption Expenditures.Article of the Week:

According to experts, there is a "chicken and egg" problem plaguing the housing market right now: High mortgage rates are keeping both home buyers and sellers sidelined, with the former hesitant to spend and the latter unwilling to part ways from the lower rates they locked in on current homes.#realestate #homebuying #mortgage https://lnkd.in/g63NN3e4
