This week's avg 30-yr fixed-rate: 6.43%
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased modestly for the second straight week, but with the rate of inflation decelerating rates should gently decline over the course of 2023. Incoming data suggest the housing market has stabilized from a sales and house price perspective. The prospect of lower mortgage rates for the remainder of the year should be welcome news to borrowers who are looking to purchase a home.
Home Buyers Are Eager but Sellers Are Scarce, Creating ‘Real Gridlock’
Home Buyers Are Eager but Sellers Are Scarce, Creating 'Real Gridlock'
by Kyle Ellingson, The New York Times, 4/29/2023

The housing market typically comes to life in spring, when buyers emerge in the warmer weather. This year, the market appears stuck in a deep freeze, and the biggest culprit is a lack of sellers, housing experts say.

There is interest among buyers — mortgage applications were up 10 percent in March from the month before — but the number of homes for sale is low. The mismatch is caused in part by homeowners who are inclined to sell but are sitting on the sidelines, scared off by the steep prices and mortgage rates that they would face as buyers.

The greater Los Angeles housing market experienced high prices and low sales during the first quarter, according to a report Thursday from Douglas Elliman.

The city’s median sales price was $2.02 million, up 13.2% from the same time last year. Sales dropped 32.8% year over year, with 1,009 closings recorded during the first three months of 2023, according to the report. This marked the fifth consecutive quarter that saw a yearly decline in sales.
