Sellers Get Off the Fence as Mortgage Rates Continue to Drop
Why Recessions are Good for Most Home Buyers, but Not All
For Buyers:
It may be hard to believe, but recessions are historically the beginning of a turnaround for the housing market. After enduring more than 2 years of declining sales, sellers and buyers may start moving and transacting again. While recessions are negative for the economy (as they coincide with higher unemployment), two things typically occur that turn the housing market positive.
The first is home value stabilization. In every recession since 1970 (except for one infamous recession in 2008) home values had minimal fluctuation and appreciation year-over-year. The second is mortgage rates. Every recession since 1970 saw mortgage rates decline while at least 90% of the labor force remained employed. According to the August employment report from the Arizona Dept of Economic Opportunity, private sector earnings rose 7.3% annually in June, a ...

Mortgage Rates Drop Again - Homes are 10% Off
Record Share of Sellers Paying Buyers’ Fees
For Buyers:
On August 5th, everything went on sale in the housing industry. As discussed in last month’s edition, multiple factors are pointing towards improvements in mortgage rates this year. Well, it happened faster than many were expecting at the beginning of August as average mortgage rates dropped abruptly to 6.3% before settling at 6.5%, a significant improvement from last April’s average rate of 7.5%. The net result for buyers was a 10%-11% drop in the principal and interest payments regardless of loan amount. Loans between $300K-$400K saw calculated payments drop from $200-$270 per month, while those between $450K-$550K saw drops between $300-$370 per month.
The drop spurred an immediate 16% increase in refinance applications week over week, per the Mortgage Bankers Association, as homeowners who decided to buy and “date” their 7%-8% rat ...
