The massive sale on the stock exchange in the early Thursday let the investors fled to the bond market. This resulted in the income income. Mortotheque interests easily follow the return of the 10-year-old US finance ministryAnd they had moved in a very narrow area since the end of February.
“While there is a lot of uncertainty about the finer points of the tariff announcement on Wednesday afternoon, the markets heard enough to contain the global trade,” wrote Matthew Graham, Chief Operating Officer at Mortgage News.
The decline in prices comes at a good time for the real estate market because the historically busy spring period gets going. However, there are several other factors that work against buyers and have difficulty affecting at home.
For the four weeks that ended on March 30, the monthly payment of the typical US buyer reached a record high in the second week in a row and, according to Redfin, a real estate agent, reached $ 2,802.
“Sales prices rose by 3.4% compared to the previous year, and the weekly average mortgagezin is 6.65%, near the lowest level since December, but more than double deep from the pandemic era,” the report says.
Even with a slight decline in mortgage interest on Thursday, around 70% of households or 94 million cannot afford a 400,000 dollar house. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the estimated average price of a new house in 2025 is around $ 460,000. This calculation was based on income thresholds and underwriting standards.
According to the report, the minimum income, which is required for the purchase of a household of $ 200,000 for a mortgage of 6.5%. In 2025, around 52.87 million households in the United States will have more income than this threshold and can therefore only afford to buy houses that have a price of up to $ 200,000.
While a growing range of houses comes onto the market, this offer is not at the price where it is most asked, which means that it is not at the bottom. In general, it is far lower than in the past due to the chronic substructure since the great recession.
“The supply recovers; many people with whom I have spoken in the past a year or two calls and say they are ready to list their house,” said Matt Ferris, a Redfin agent in North Virginia. “Some believe that we are at the top of the market and you want to get the top dollar for your house. Here in the DC region, some people are selling because they are worried about losing their government job, or because they want to buy closer to the city due to in-office guidelines.”
According to Realtor.com, the previous spring season has recorded an annual increase in the new entries of 10% in new entries. However, houses also found the market for longer and the proportion of lists with increasing price reductions. The sales in the largest cities in the country decreased by 5.2% from the turnover in which it was signed.
Some of the steepest declines were back in Jacksonville, Florida, and Miami, Florida -by 15.1% and 13.7%, where the markets were partially softer due to the reverse pandemic migration. Virginia Beach, Virginia, recorded a decline of 14.2%.
“The high costs for the purchase of growing economic concerns indicate a slow response from buyers in the early spring. We see a market that newly spent the buyers and offers buyers more opportunities,” wrote Danielle Hale, chief economist from Realtor.com, in one publication. “The latest improvements in mortgage interests are good for the later season for later spring and early summer apartment season, as long as economic concerns can be remedied and the buyers do not relieve the course.”
