Available inventory of homes for sale surprises again this week!

Supply fell 1% to 547,000 SFR

Let's look at how all this plays out in this week's @AltosResearch #realestatemarket video ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‡

1/7 Image
There's just a remarkable dearth of new listings.

25% fewer new listings each week than we'd expect for this time of year

The portion selling immediately (light red part of each bar here) is finally evaporating.

2/7 Image
Our inventory forecast has been consistently wrong since July

I expected we'd have 625k homes on the market now, but we only have 547k

Currently projecting 470k EOY, but that could easily be too high

450k? 430k? Will 2023 start with fewer homes available than 2021?

3/7 Image
Home prices meanwhile are steadily, slowly pulling back for the fall

Median home price in the US this week is $439,900

The price of the new listings (light red line) shows consistent discounting by new sellers

None of this is catastrophic, but worth noting

4/7 Image
Price reductions have reached the summer plateau

40% of the homes on the market have had a price cut

The fact that this is level tells us that the market is not tanking

The supply of homes for sale is just too short for the market to tank hard

5/7 Image
Next week Tuesday Sept 20, we'll do our hour long webinar

We'll look at the inventory forecast for the rest of the year plus local markets

Discuss what buyers & sellers should know right now

These are limited to 1000 people, so grab your spot now

Today is my mother's 83rd birthday.

Here's a short thread on the things this incredible woman did during her 82nd year: Image
My 83 year old mother captained a 40-foot catamaran for a family sailing trip in Martinique.

This is her driving the boat in a driving rainstorm. Image
My 83 year old mother got a couple dozen days skiing. Canada, Colorado, Wisconsin, and California this year.

This is her at 81: Image

Home prices holding steady as a few more homes hit the market this week

A little bounce in inventory up to 552,000 single family homes unsold on the market

26% more homes than last year

43% fewer than 2019!

Here's the @AltosResearch real estate market data video. ๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

You can see 2022's crazy year in the chart of the new listings each week

These are those that hit the market and didn't sell immediately

63,000 new SFR listings this week

The curve shows us how we'll not break out of our crisis shortage any time soon

2/7 Image
Home prices were unchanged this week

The median price of single family homes in the US is $439,900

The price of the new listings rose to $399,000

Four more weeks around this plateau before prices recede for the winter

Available inventory of homes for sale is now declining for the season.

553,000 single family homes on the market.

Prices ticking down too.

This week's (belated!) @AltosResearch real estate market update ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‡

We'll quite obviously finish 2022 with fewer than 500,000 single family homes on the market.

Will homeowners *ever* unload their amazing investments?!

Buyers will face a pretty severe shortage again next year ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

2/6 Image
Home prices are ticking down.

Median price of single family homes in the US is $440,000 this week.

Seasonal declines in prices will continue through the end of the year.

We'll end 2022 with about 10% home price gains over 2021.

Will home buyers ever get that bargain market they've been waiting for?

Looking less likely, TBH

Available inventory of unsold single family homes rose 1% this week to 550k.

Supply just isn't increasing enough

Inventory is still rising but rising less even than last year at this time

Looks now like we'll peak at 600k and finish the year at maybe 525k single family homes on the market

We revised this projection down a bit from just a few weeks ago

2/6
Home prices holding steady in most of the US

Median price of single family homes is $449,000

Expect weekly downticks in pricing from here

We'll end the year with roughly 10% home price appreciation

Will the real estate market see a soft landing? It's starting to look like that!

Inventory growth is slowing

544,000 single family homes on the market

Less than 1% more than last week

If we look at the same data in YoY format, we can see how the slope has changed in the last few weeks.

Even allowing for decent jumps in inventory weekly in August, we'll still end the year with only 535k houses on the market.

Do we have to revise this forecast DOWN?!

2/7 Image
You can see the abrupt change in new listings volume after July 4th week.

Fewer immediate sales, of course, the voracious demand is gone. That's the light red portion of each bar each week.

But also fewer new listings. Homeowners are secure, no one needs to panic sell.

Inventory growth sure looks to be slowing

Still a lot of homes hitting the market for July, but 3% more per week down from 6-8% in June

525,000 single family homes on the market

To end the year with more than 550,000 homes on the market, we'd need to be posting record breaking weeks now. We're not.

Each bar here is a week of inventory change. The brown section are the forecasts for each week thru end of 2022.

5-6 more weeks of pretty big gains.

2/6
Prices are stable too.

Median price of single family homes in the US is $450,000 this week.

The price of the new listings ticked up to $408,000.

If the market were in worse shape, I'd expect those new listings to be dropping faster.

Fewer bidding wars though!
