Interest rates are at 15 year highs, demand is lower than anytime since 2007. So why are we not seeing home prices plummet in Orange County right now? One word. SUPPLY. Supply started the year at the lowest level ever and this year we have seen 17% less homes hit the market in Orange County than usual. Until we get supply back up, the market is going to remain stable for the foreseeable future. How can supply get high enough to see home values drop? This episode goes over that and more.

Orange County housing market update for August 2022. The housing market in Orange County has been wild over the last 3 months but it looks like things are starting to stabilize. Trends are showing supply is increasing at a slower rate and demand, although still slightly dropping, seems to have come close to bottoming out. The main contributing factor to this stabilization has been interest rates dropping by over a percent in the last 6 weeks hitting lows not seen since April in the housing market. This is making homes more affordable again. Although we are still in a slight seller's market, buyers who are able to afford a mortgage are finding it easier to buy a home right now than anytime in the last 2 1/2 years.

Will mortgage rates go up or down during a recession? Looking at data from all recessions in the past 40 years, it's pretty clear. In 100% of those recessions, mortgage rates first spiked and then went down by they end of the recession. Once we see inflation peak and start dropping, you can expect mortgage rates to do the same. At the same time, the feds will also typically lower rates to encourage spending again to help the economy get out of a recession which further increase the chances that rates will end up lower after everything is said and done.

For the first time in what seems like forever the trends in the housing data for Orange County are starting to show that there is a way for us to get to a buyer's market before the end of the year. However, the chances are still very slim and even if we do, don't expect prices to fall in any significant way. THIS IS NOT 2007. So what should you do if you are thinking of buying or selling a home this Summer in Orange County? Check out the video to see what's currently happening in the market, what to expect over the remainder of summer, my advice for both buyers and sellers in this quickly shifting market, and what would cause us to slip into a buyer's market by the end of the year.
