Realtor.com COVID-19 Housing Market Update – 3/26/21


This week, Senior Economist George Ratiu discusses the latest upward revision to gross domestic product and the welcome decline in initial unemployment insurance claims. He also covers the slide in orders of durable goods during February.

George also discusses the latest data on the real estate front, covering the drop in both new and existing home sales during February. He also talks about the weekly realtor.com data, which shows that demand remains unseasonably high, keeping the housing market very competitive.

George covers the release of two realtor.com reports this week, looking at February’s hottest real estate markets, and the challenges that today’s first-time buyers face in a market rife with historically-low inventory, contingency waivers, and price escalation clauses. He touches on the week’s jump in mortgage rates, along with the slide in applications, which highlight rising affordability challenges.

Realtor.com COVID-19 Housing Market Update – 6/18/21


This week, Senior Economist George Ratiu talks about increased volatility in activity and data as we move toward a new normal. He covers the drop in May retail sales, which was led by fewer sales of cars and trucks. He also discusses the rise in wholesale prices which is translating into higher inflation. George also talks about the rebound in industrial production and the surprising increase in unemployment insurance claims. With rising prices and strong inflation weighing on consumers and financial markets, George mentions the Federal Reserve’s announcement that it will likely speed up its rate increase schedule.

George covers the latest trends in real estate markets, including the mixed new construction numbers and the slide in home builder sentiment. On a hopeful note, Realtor.com weekly data show more sellers are bringing homes to market, helping moderate the frenzied price growth of the past year. George highlights that mortgage rates saw another decline, keeping financing affordable.

George also mentions the newest rental report from Realtor.com which highlights that rents are rising and have reached the highest level in two years. He concludes by talking about realtor.com’s latest insights into what 2021 buyers are looking for in their next homes.
