Nationwide Housing Supply Remained Heavily Negative Driven by a 20.8% Decline in New Listing Volume and a 56.2% Increase in Removals on a Year-Over-Year Basis
Interest Rate Shock is Having Biggest Impact on Net New Listing Volume, Which Has Experienced the Largest Off-Seasonal Decline Since the Start of COVID Lockdowns in 2020
Monthly Contract Volume Continues to Outpace Net New Listing Volume, Indicating Inventory Shortage is Likely to Persist in the Coming Weeks
HouseCanary, Inc. (“HouseCanary”), a national brokerage known for its real estate valuation accuracy, today released its latest Market Pulse report, covering 22 listing-derived metrics and comparing data between October 2021 and October 2022. The Market Pulse is an ongoing review of proprietary data and insights from HouseCanary’s nationwide platform.
Jeremy Sicklick, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of HouseCanary, commented:
“Earlier this year, the housing market displayed resiliency and momentum that was used to absorb the initial set of rate increases in Q2. However, that momentum has worn off as mortgage rates have continued to rise rapidly throughout the year, substantially impacting prices and transaction volumes. The Fed’s latest rate 75-basis point rate increase is sure to drive additional decreases in supply and more price drops nationwide. Looking ahead, we expect the Fed will continue raising rates to combat inflation, and these subsequent rate increases will have growing impacts on the housing market, which are already becoming evident.”
