Pending Home Sales, which measures signed contracts on existing homes, were down 2.6% in November. This was lower than the 0.3% drop expected, but sales are still up 16.42% year over year. The month over month decline was not due to a lack of demand, but a lack of supply. Remember that the supply of existing homes is down 22% year over year, if there were more homes on the market, there would be even more sales. Nonetheless, it is still impressive that sales are up 16.4% year over year with inventory down 22%.

The Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which is considered the gold standard for appreciation, showed that nationally there was a 4.8% annual gain in July, which was 0.5% higher than the gain we saw in June. The 20-city Index rose from 3.5% to 3.9% year over year, with almost all of the cities showing strong gains. Phoenix, Seattle and Charlotte reported the highest annual gains among the 19 cities. Phoenix prices rose 9.2%, followed by Seattle with a 7% increase and Charlotte ...with a 6% increase. The 4.8% national reading is very in line with our expectations of 5% appreciation. Case Shiller said that they expect this year over year figure to jump again in August. Make sure to quantify the opportunity in housing to your customers. Someone buying a $300,000 home, that gains 5% in appreciation, would benefit by $15,000 in just one year on appreciation alone. The equity gain with amortization would be even greater. #MarketTrends See more
