Inflation appears to be beyond its peak, which has stopped the rapid increase in mortgage rates that the housing market was experiencing earlier this year. The market continues to absorb the cumulative impact of the large price and rate increases that led to a plunge in affordability. As a result, over the rest of the year purchase demand likely will continue to drag, supply will modestly increase, and home price growth will decelerate.
Home sales dropped in July, the sixth month in a row.
Home Sales Dropped in July, the Sixth Month in a Row
by Stephen Gandel & Gregory Schmidt, The New York Times, 8/18/2022

Existing-home sales fell for the sixth-straight month in July, a new housing report showed, as higher mortgage rates continue to push would-be buyers to the sidelines.

Sales of existing homes dropped 5.9 percent last month from June, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.81 million, the National Association of Realtors reported on Thursday. Sales in July were 20.2 percent lower than they were one year ago, the report said.

“The surge in mortgage rates and gas prices combined with the stock market sell-off have thrown a bucket of ice water on a formerly red-hot housing market,” said Bill Adams, the chief economist for Comerica Bank, a national lender based in Dallas.

Mortgage rates drop amid signs that inflation may have finally peaked
Mortgage Rates Drop Amid Signs That Inflation May Have Finally Peaked
by Anna Bahney, CNN, 8/19/2022

Mortgage rates ticked lower last week, falling back toward the 5% mark following economic reports that indicated inflation might have finally peaked.

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.13% in the week ending August 18, down from 5.22% the week before, according to Freddie Mac. Despite the latest drop, rates are still significantly higher than this time last year, when the 30-year was 2.86%.

After starting the year at 3.22%, mortgage rates rose sharply during the first half of the year, hitting a high of 5.81% in mid-June. But since then, concerns about the economy and the Federal Reserve’s mission to combat inflation have made them more volatile.
