Are You Waiting To Buy A Home Until Prices Drop?

Thom and Rory share stats, articles, and graphs that may make you change your mind. 

 

are you waiting to buy a home until prices drop

 

Are you waiting to buy a home until prices drop? Not sure of your next move? Are you concerned about buying in a hot market or is now even a good time to buy? As 2021 progresses, questions about what’s coming are top of mind for buyers and sellers. Near record-low mortgage rates along with rising home prices started off 2021 with a robust housing market in the first half of the year, but what does the forecast tell us about what’s coming for the 2nd half of 2021 and forward?

Mortgage Rates Will Likely Increase, but Remain Low

Many experts are projecting a rise in interest rates. Freddie Mac’s latest quarterly forecast is that mortgage rates will continue to rise through the end of next year estimate that the 30-year fixed mortgage rate will average 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021, rising to 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

However, even as mortgage rates rise, their anticipated increase is expected to be modest, and well below historical averages, thus allowing homebuyers to maximize their purchasing power. Home Price Appreciation Will continue but Price Growth Will Likely Slow.

Joe Seydl, Senior Markets Economist at J.P. Morgan, also projects home prices will continue to rise, so buyers interested in purchasing a home should do so sooner rather than later. Waiting to buy a home or waiting for rates or home prices to fall may not be in their best interest: Other experts remain optimistic about home prices, too. The graph below highlights 2021 home price forecasts from multiple industry leaders:

Inventory Is Still A Challenge

There Are Reasons To Be Optimistic

Home prices are rising, but they should moderate as more homes come to market. George Ratiu, Senior Economist at realtor.com, says there are signs that indicate the current inventory challenges may lessen, thus slowing the rapid home price appreciation and generating more choices for buyers.  He also says there have been more new listings this year compared with 2020 in 11 of the last 13 weeks with an influx of new sellers over the last couple of months.

New construction home starts are also starting to improve, which further supports hopes of more options coming to market. Robert Dietz, Chief Economist at the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) says there are now 652,000 single-family homes under construction. This is 28% higher than a year ago.

Finally, while it may not change the current housing market we’re experiencing, more homes might come to market this year thus improving the economy according to Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American, who also notes that growing consumer confidence, a stronger labor market, and higher wages have potential for housing demand. While a growing economy and improving conditions with the pandemic may also motivate existing owners who were on the sidelines, to list their homes for sale, yet not enough to tilt it from a super sellers’ market anytime soon.

Bottom Line: As we look at the forecast for prices, interest rates, inventory, and home sales, experts remain optimistic about what’s on the horizon for the second half of 2021. But again, if you are waiting to buy a home, it’s currently looking like it would be better to buy sooner than later. Let’s connect today to discuss how we can navigate the market together in the coming months.

South Florida Real Estate Market

South Florida Real Estate Market

As you will see in the video covering the South Florida real estate market, the closed sales for single-family homes for May 2020 to May 2021 have jumped up 96.5% and the closed sales for the first 5 months of 2020 compared to the first 5 months of 2021 went up 33%.

The median sales prices for the South Florida real estate market also went up 13.7% from May of 2020 to May of 2021 and the median sales prices for the first 5 months of 20 versus 2021 went up 27.5%.

 

The inventory for the South Florida real estate market for sale in May of 2020 versus May of 2021 has gone down a massive 65.2% bringing the month's supply of inventory to a historic 1.1 months. That means less than 1 month supply of inventory. So if no other homes come on the market, what's left in Jupiter would be sold out in 1.1 months!

However, looking at the national trends, we are seeing inventory pick up from the beginning of the year at 1.9 months in January 2021 to 2.4 months in April.

The inventory for North Palm Beach County in January was 1,734 homes. In May it's dropped to 1128 homes. Condos and townhomes in January were 2,325 and are now 1,170 for May.

New listings coming on the market in January were 856 and may is 903 so there's a little bit of a positive trend there. Townhomes and condos in January were 979 is down to 848. This decrease is likely due to people that cannot afford to buy single-family homes are turning to condos and townhomes.

Of course, this is great news for sellers. It's not all bad news for buyers though. If you are thinking of buying a home, we have a lot of strategies that we use to put buyers in a strong negotiating position when making offers on homes.

Most economists predict that home prices will continue to rise but not at a dramatic pace. They predict an average of 8.2% price appreciation for the remainder of 2021. So, again, if you're thinking of making a move, it's still best to do it sooner than later before interest rates AND prices go up this year and next. As we've discussed before, there's no evidence there will be any kind of "Bubble" bursting and causing prices to drop.

For the full story and more information please see the video.
