Purchase applications increased 25% week-over-week as buyers return to the market to capitalize on the recent decrease in interest rates. There is still a significant amount of pent up buyer demand and low levels of inventory in the market.
The National Association of Realtors recently reported that housing inventory has once again dropped below 1 million units. Inventory is not much higher than its all time lows. This level of inventory is considered extremely low in order to support a US population of 330 million.
The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI) improved 2.5% month over month in December. This index provides a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings and signals a positive shift in market conditions.
Inflation has likely peaked as CPI rose by a 6.5% annualized rate last month. This reflected the 6th consecutive month of declining inflation and the lowest annualized increase since 4Q21. Lower inflation reflects the impact of Fed policy and covid related pressure easing off supply chains.
