Home sales rose 3.4% in October, reaching an annualized rate of 3.96 million units, marking the first annual increase in over three years. This surge followed a drop in mortgage rates, although current rates have climbed to 7.05%. Inventory increased by 19.1% year-over-year, but tight supply continues to pressure prices, with the median home price at $407,200, up 4% from last year.
American homebuyers are facing increased mortgage rates, with Redfin Corp. raising its 2024 forecast from 6.1% to 6.8% following Donald Trump"s election. Daryl Fairweather, Redfin"s chief economist, noted that the market anticipates potential tariffs under Trump"s administration, though his exact plans remain uncertain.
Mortgage rates have stabilized, with the average 30-year fixed rate at 6.78% as of mid-November, offering some relief to homebuyers amid market volatility. Experts predict rates will remain in the 6% range into 2025, influenced by economic growth and potential Federal Reserve actions. Homeowners may benefit from refinancing, especially if they secured loans at higher rates last year, as home equity continues to rise significantly.
The average age of first-time homebuyers in the U.S. has reached an all-time high of 38, reflecting a decline in their market share from 32% to 24%. High rent prices, a significant housing shortage of 4 million homes, and increased competition against wealthier buyers are making homeownership increasingly difficult for younger adults. As a result, many renters remain cost burdened, spending over 30% of their income on housing, which hampers their ability to save for a home or pay down existing debt.
Tesla's CEO Elon Musk forecasts a 20% growth in vehicle sales for next year, surpassing Wall Street's 15% expectation, following strong third-quarter profits. Meanwhile, Boeing workers have extended their strike after rejecting a contract with a 35% wage increase, halting most aircraft production. Additionally, existing home sales have dropped to their lowest level since October 2010, reflecting a 1% month-over-month decline.
