Month’s Supply

What is Month’s Supply? Months of supply is the measure of how many months it would take for the current inventory of homes on the market to sell, given the current pace of home sales. For example, if there are 50 homes on the market and 10 homes selling each month, there is a 5 month supply of homes for sale.

Months of supply is a good indicator of whether a particular real estate market is favoring buyers or sellers. Typically, a market that favors sellers has less than 6 months of supply, while more than 6 months of supply indicates an excess of homes for sale that favors buyers.

Mortgage Rates

Mortgage Industry Insights

Fed lifts rates again, but the tightening cycle might be over

The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates in May, but also indicated a potential halt to further increases as inflation shows signs of stabilizing.

Ahead of the central bank’s announcement, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage cost 6.52 percent, according to Bankrate’s national survey of large lenders. The rates on fixed mortgages don’t parallel the Fed’s moves, but there is some link between what the Fed does, the broader economy and how the mortgage market responds.

“The highest borrowing rates in years will get a little bit higher for credit cards, home equity lines of credit, auto loans and personal loans,” says Greg McBride, chief financial analyst for Bankrate. “Mortgage rates don’t take direct cues from the Fed and will instead respond to the outlook for the economy and inflation. A slowing economy and an easing of inflation pressures are the prerequisites for lower mortgage rates.”
