Article Highlights for Mortgage Servicing:
The current sentiment in the mortgage industry is that 2022 will see a softening in the housing market. According to HouseCanary, potential homebuyers going into the summer months are going to encounter challenges that include higher rates and a shrinking supply of available homes for purchase. Recent market results show a trend of decreasing price growth from February to March 2022. Also, listings under contract have noted a double-digit year-over-year decline. According to Jeremy Sicklick, Co-Founder and CEO of HouseCanary, “In May, we saw the first sign of a potential softening in the housing market as mortgage rates are climbing higher than pre-pandemic levels”. He went on to say that “It continues to be a challenging environment for buyers, as increased rates, already bloated prices, and short supply leading to competitive bidding has made homeownership more expensive.”
Noted high-lights related to the current trends in 2022:
- New listings for May 2022 decreased 16.6% compared to May 2021;
- Net new listings for the year since May 2021 has decreased 4.2.%
- Listings under contract for the year since May 2021 has decreased 8.3%
- Monthly contract volume for the year since May 2021 has decreased 10.9%
In the near term for the upcoming summer of 2022, HouseCanary is estimating that the market will continue to experience a short supply of available homes for purchase with single-digit price growth.
