Elevated mortgage charges and residential costs have introduced the market to a close to crawl, in keeping with Redfin’s newest market report.

The standard for-sale itemizing took 54 days to go underneath contract throughout the 4 weeks ending on Jan. 26 — the longest days on market common since March 2020. Slowing market exercise and pending house gross sales (-9.4 % year-over-year) additionally pushed stock ranges up, with the months of provide reaching a six-year excessive of 5.2 months.

TAKE THE INMAN INTEL INDEX SURVEY FOR JANUARY

“Sales are slow because it’s very expensive to buy a home, with mortgage rates sitting near 7 percent and home prices up 4.8 percent year over year,” the report learn. “The median monthly housing payment is $2,753, just shy of April’s record high. Additionally, extreme weather — including snow and frigid cold in the Midwest, South and Northeast and wildfires in Southern California — are keeping would-be buyers at home.”

Median house value progress was highest throughout the Northeast and Midwest, with Pittsburgh (19.3 %), Milwaukee (16.7 %) Fort Lauderdale, Florida (14.2 %), Newark, New Jersey (13.4 %), and Cincinnati (11.7 %) posting double-digit positive aspects in January. In the meantime, pending house gross sales solely elevated in Portland, Oregon (9.7 %), and Milwaukee (2.6 %), with the opposite 48 largest markets within the U.S. posting annual declines.

Jordan Hammond | Credit score: Redfin

Regardless of January’s gradual begin, Redfin Premier agent Jordan Hammond mentioned the approaching months would possibly spark extra exercise as homebuyers get bored with ready for decrease charges and residential costs to make a transfer.

“Prospective buyers have been cautious because they’ve seen homes sitting on the market and they’ve heard interest rates and prices may drop. When the market isn’t competitive, some buyers think they should wait for costs to go down,” she mentioned in a written assertion.

“Now it’s pretty clear that sellers aren’t slashing asking prices and mortgage rates aren’t plummeting, so mindsets are shifting. People are starting to believe that if they want or need to move, and they can afford to, they should do it.”

Hammond’s prediction comes after the Federal Reserve introduced it’s not reducing short-term charges, a transfer that can possible maintain mortgage charges elevated for the close to future.

“The Fed’s pause on rate cuts confirms what Treasury yields have been telling us — inflation risks are likely to keep mortgage rates high in the near term,” Fitch Scores Senior Director Eric Orenstein mentioned in a earlier Inman article. “Mortgage refis could still pick up if long-term rates fall around 75 basis points, but there is clearly less momentum than there was even three months ago.”
