Today in Mortgages

Welcome back dream makers, today we are discussing if delinquencies are becoming a problem and what that means for housing. We are giving today's article "Mortgage delinquencies hit a six month high in June, but it's not as bad as it looks" mixed reviews. It has some truths but also takes a negative perspective that could be misleading. It is true that delinquencies are up, which is likely from unemployment slightly rising,  and the fact that real estate taxes and homeowners insurance are up. But nationally the delinquency rate is less than 3% which is really good. 

Tune in to this episode to gain a deeper understanding of the current market dynamics and discover how you can better support your clients in achieving their homeownership dreams. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to the industry, this discussion offers valuable insights to help you navigate today's real estate landscape.

Welcome back dream makers, today we are discussing homeownership. We are looking at Housing Wire's article: "Is this the best evidence for a home ownership problem?" The article finds there is a gap between home ownership & households -- a household refers to two or more related people. The data for household homeowners has been consistent over the years, but overall homeowners has had a steep decline. Reasons for this might be affordability, less interest, or waiting longer to get married (which can help with affordability). Because of this delay of starting households, there is also a delay of building wealth. We believe younger homebuyers are out there, but they are just waiting on affordability piece, and then we will all see demand increase.

Welcome back dream makers, today we are asking the question: Are we in a housing bubble? We've talked about inventory a lot on this show, because it is low and that is a critical piece of housing. Today's article from New York Post Today declares "Massive housing bubble about to burst in this US region, warns a real estate expert -- see where." This region includes south Texas and Florida. This article drums up fear that builders have built too much, but that just isn't the case. If interest rates come down, competition is going to get tighter. We need a normal amount of inventory -- about 6 months supply on the market to keep a good check on prices.  Bottom line, there just isn't enough properties available for homebuyers.

Welcome back dream makers, we've been talking about the lack of inventory for a while now, but the biggest reason people are not moving is due to high interest rates. Today's article from CNBC.com wants us to consider the influx of inventory we are seeing: "It suddenly looks like there are too many houses for sale. Here's why that's not quite right." Yes, there is more inventory, but it's not necessarily the type of inventory we need (in the $400,000 and below market). Most first-time homebuyers need that lower price to enter the housing market. Bottom line, there is just not the right properties for first time home-buyers.

Welcome back dream makers, this is Today In Mortgage! We are discussing what historically happens to housing during election years. To do this, we are specifically looking at home sales, home prices and interest rates according to today's article from Keeping Current: "How will the 2024 election affect real estate." Traditionally, home sales decline due to people waiting to see what happens in the election while home prices usually rise, and mortgage rates historically trend down. We don't expect this year to be any different!

Welcome back dream makers, today we are discussing voters and housing! We are in election season, and today's article from Housing Wires says housing is a top issue for voters. Specifically, affordability is the main issue, which is effected by rates, regulations and inventory. Last week we discussed rates and how the president really can't influence rates, but loosening regulations, giving tax breaks & increasing inventory can really help affordability. Neither president has released a comprehensive plans for affordable housing, but the left and the right have different ideas on how to encourage buyers. What we know is we need more housing and we need both parties to get together with policy on how this will happen.

Today in Mortgages we discuss if the presidential election can change the course of residential housing. There is hype around the election and today's article from Yahoo Finance wants us to consider "What the housing market could look like if Donald Trump wins the 2024 Presidential election." But we don't see how any single person could fix the market, considering the president cannot control things like interest rates. We discuss this and a few more questions in today's episode!

Today in Mortgages we discuss which generation is paying the most for housing. Across the board everything was less expensive for older generations from home prices to college to household goods. A surprise is that it cost less household income-wise for the younger generation. Millennials are paying 23% of their household income for housing verses 33% of the medium household income in 1980. But today's younger generations are also paying for way more conveniences like streaming services and grocery deliveries that didn't exist in the past. One of the biggest issues for today's buyers is lack of inventory. Proving that home buying has always been a challenge.

Today in Mortgages we discuss how housing plays into inflation. Yesterday Powell discussed "sticky shelter inflation" referring to high shelter costs, which make up about 30-40% of CPI. Shelter includes rent, insurance, hotels, and personal residences. Powell discussed whether cuts can come while housing inflation is still elevated and hinted at only one rate cut this year. Ultimately, we shouldn't wait for rates to come down to get down to business. It took a while for these rates to come up, and it's going to take a while for them to come back down.
