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

The average rate on 30-year fixed mortgages rose to 6.93 percent this week, up from 6.88 percent last week, according to Bankrate’s weekly national survey of large lenders.

Mortgage rates fell sharply in mid-December as the Federal Reserve wrapped up its final meeting of 2023 with no rate hike. At the time, the Fed signaled several rate cuts in 2024. Mortgage rates responded by free-falling from 7.21 percent to 6.88 percent in a single week.

However, any more steep declines in mortgage rates seem unlikely for now, in large part because the Fed is again talking about keeping rates higher for longer. Two recent data points have slowed the momentum: higher-than-expected jobs numbers and an uptick in inflation. Those readings are cooling expectations for a rate cut at the Fed’s next meeting.
