What's New

In 2012, 10 years ago, the US had roughly TRIPLE the inventory of homes for sale. Today we have about 334 million people in the US versus 314 million people a decade ago, an increase of 6.34%. The US is estimated to have 353 million people in 10 year’s time. If 4 people share a home, we need to build at least 1.9 million homes per year to accommodate this rise in population. We've averaged well under that number in the past decade, about 1.29 million per year. We need a construction BOOM to meet existing and future demand.

 

 

Many have forgotten that mortgage rates began to rise after 2016 and reached their peak at the end of 2018/start of 2019 as employment and the overall economy was strong and growing. Politicians decried the Fed's rate hikes back then. Rates on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage (FRM) ran between 3.95% on the low end and 5.34% on the high end, not that much lower than today's rates.

 

 

Had you bought a home in 2007 at the peak of that market, 7 years later most home prices had recovered, notably less time than most people stay in their homes which now varies between 8 and 13 years.
