| The National Association of Realtors" Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI)—which tracks contract signings on existing homes—has spent more than two years stuck in a rut, held back by affordability constraints and the lingering impact of elevated mortgage rates.

| 5/30/2025 4:43 PM | ||
| The Mortgage Bankers Association"s (MBA) weekly application survey continues to track closely with the more granular daily rate data from MND.

| Home Prices Falling or Growing Less Quickly? | ||
| 5/30/2025 3:59 PM | ||
| Both FHFA and Case Shiller released home price data this week with some mixed messages for the housing market. The first thing to remember about the major home price indices is that they run about 2 months behind--for the month of March in the present case.

| New Home Sales at 3 Year High, Maybe... | ||
| 5/23/2025 2:07 PM | ||
| The Census Bureau reported New Home Sales for April today, and at face value, the news is good. Economists expected an annual pace of 692k, but were instead treated to a surprisingly high 743k--just edging out 3 of the best months over the past 3 years. Unlike many of the other reports we cover, there"s really no glaring counterpoint when ...Read More | ||
| No Major Change For Existing Home Sales | ||
| 5/23/2025 1:17 PM | ||
| Two months ago, existing home sales came in at the highest levels in a year according the the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Last month"s report showed a fairly sharp decline to 5 month lows. The latest data, out this week is less sensational by comparison. Granted, we can now technically say that existing sales are at 6 month lows, but t...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Demand Impacted by Rising Rates | ||
| 5/23/2025 12:39 PM | ||

Both are in agreement that rates were on their way up to the highest levels in several months last week--a fact that seems to have taken a toll on both purchase and refinance applications. “Mortg...Read More | ||

| Home Price Appreciation Remains, But Interesting Trend Emerges | ||
| 5/2/2025 2:00 PM | ||
