I wish new listings were growing faster, but I will call it a victory nonetheless. We saw a slight decline in new listings data week to week. I wrote about the wage growth slowdown and how that ties into the Fed’s model in my analysis of the jobs report. So, the spreads getting better this year is a positive storyline.

Traditionally, one third of all homes get a price cut before they sell and when demand gets weaker, this percentage increases, which we saw in 2022 when prices were falling in the second half of the year. I believe we should get more sellers in 2024 than in 2023, but that doesn’t necessarily mean home prices will fall.

That means I can’t see mortgage rates going below 6%, especially with the spreads being bad, until the labor market or the economy gets weaker. Clearly, if mortgage rates can head toward 6% and hold we will get rising demand, but I believe the Federal Reserve wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if more people were buying homes.

So, the fact that active inventory and new listings data fell last week isn’t a big deal. However, for now, this is a plus for the U.S. 2022: 17.6%
