Market Snapshot
Happy Summer from BHT! Hopefully you’ve been enjoying the warm weather and sun filled activities. Here at BHT we’ve been enjoying the Summer and also working hard as usual.
As for the market, surprisingly the higher mortgage rates have not stopped the market. We’ve definitely been seeing a slowdown in demand and more price changes across the county, but overall the market has continued to move.
In terms of home sales, they declined this quarter but are still up slightly compared to Q2 2021. The trend however, is clearly downward. When looking at the last 3 quarters, it is pretty clear that transaction count is declining. As for home prices, they dropped 2.7% from last quarter, but still up 5.4% year over year.
And lastly, regarding month’s supply, the figure which measures supply and demand, we currently have 6.8 month’s supply. This indicates a “balanced market”, however, inventory is on the rise and demand is declining so month’s supply will most likely increase over the next two quarters. How much it rises will give us a good indication as to what type of market we will be in next year. Broad consensus among agents and lenders is that we are shifting into a buyer’s market and will most likely see more inventory as mortgage rates rise.
We’ll see how it all plays out and keep you posted as we see changes in real time.
Months 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.
- # of Homes on the Market: 1,941 (Was 1,902 last quarter)
- # of Homes selling each month: 286 (Was 316 last quarter)
- Month’s Supply: 6.8 (Was 6.2 last month)
