The Real Estate News Brief: U.S. Housing Inventory Returning to Normal and Fastest Growing Markets for Apartments Jun 12, 2024

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending June 8th, 2024... why a strong jobs report discourages the Fed from cutting rates, why Americans may have an easier time finding a home to buy, and which metro is experiencing the most apartment construction.

Back to our economic news. We begin with news from this past week that gave us a strong jobs report and less reason to expect a near-term interest rate cut. Fed officials are meeting this coming week so we may get a clue about when they may cut rates, but economists believe the strong jobs report will give them reason to hold off on a rate cut since it alleviates some amount of worry about how the high-interest rate environment is impacting company decisions on hiring. And inflation has not yet returns to the Fed's 2% target... ...Despite that slight drop in occupancy, RealPage researchers believe the market is balanced due to solid job and population growth.

Return to Normal? Big Uptrend in FOR SALE Homes Jun 08, 2024

Show notes

It's a breath of fresh air to see that the number of homes for sale is heading back "up" toward normal. We've heard for so long about a tight inventory that's making homes more expensive and harder to find. But a new Realtor.com report is showing a sharp rise in for sale listings that some real estate experts are calling an "incredible trend." Hi I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you're new to real estate or looking for ways to expand your experience, sign up for a free RealWealth membership at newsforinvestors.com, and check for upcoming webinars.

And subscribe to the podcast while you've got a minute and leave us a review! Now back to Realtor.com's Monthly Housing Market Trends Report for the month of May. The report shows the total number of active listings as more than 35% higher than a year ago in May. That's after seven months of growth that includes a 6.2% bump for the month of May and, before that, a 12.2% bump for the month of April. Other data from the report shows that the median price of a home has remained stable with just .3% of growth for the year and a median price of $442,500. But there has been a 3.8% increase in the price per square foot. That points to a larger number of smaller, more affordable homes that are being listed with a higher price per square foot...

Why the Increase in Single-Family Home Sales to Investors? May 31, 2024

Show notes

Investor purchases of single-family homes increased last month. According to a new Redfin report shows investors captured more of the single-family market in the first quarter than they did a year earlier. And it was the first time for this kind of activity since mid-2022. I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you'd like to increase your share of the real estate market, join me on our upcoming real estate tour on June 8th in San Antonio. We'll have a meet and greet the night before somewhere very cool and then tour properties, including brand new duplexes and quads that come with a 4.25% interest rate. Yes you heard me right. RealWealth has negotiated a deal with the builder to buy down rates, so check it out at newsforinvestors.com. You'll find our upcoming webinars and property tours under the "Connect" tab. And you won't be alone. As the Redfin report shows, investors are scooping up as many residential properties as they can. Redfin says that investors bought about 44,000 homes in the first quarter or 18.7% of all the homes purchased in the US. That's up from 17.9% the year before, and represents a .5% increase. The numbers represent all homes including single-family homes, townhomes, condos and multifamilies, but Redfin says the surge was mostly driven by investors buying single-family homes. Redfin says that single-family homes accounted for 69.9% of all the residential properties bought by investors. The analysis included a look at 39 of the largest US metros by both large and small investors... ...You'll find a link to the Redfin report in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.

The April results bring the annual PPI up to 2.2%, and lower the annual CPI to 3.4%. The results for the core rate were similar with the PPI increasing slightly and the CPI decreasing slightly. Although the first report triggered another wave of concern about where inflation is headed, the second report helped settle a few nerves.
