BOSTON – Nov. 5, 2018 – Consumers should expect home sales to flatten and home prices to continue to increase, though at a slower pace, according to a residential housing and economic forecast session at the National Association of Realtors®‘ (NAR) 2018 Realtors® Conference & Expo.
NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun was joined by Lisa Sturtevant, president of Lisa Sturtevant & Associates, LLC, to discuss the importance of affordable housing in the U.S.
Much of Yun’s presentation focused on recent declines in home sales, but he discussed it in the context of long-term trends as a way to illustrate the housing market’s actual performance.
“Ninety percent of markets are experiencing price gains while very few are experiencing consistent price declines,” said Yun. “2017 was the best year for home sales in 10 years, and 2018 is only down 1.5 percent year to date. Statistically, it is a mild twinge in the data and a very mild adjustment compared to the long-term growth we’ve been experiencing over the past few years.”
Yun quickly shut down any speculation of a housing price bubble.
“The current market conditions are fundamentally different than what we were experiencing before the recession 10 years ago,” said Yun. “Most states are reporting stable or strong market conditions, housing starts are under-producing instead of over-producing, and we are seeing historically low foreclosure levels, indicating that people are living within their means and not purchasing homes they cannot afford. This is a stronger, more stable market compared to the loosely regulated market leading up to the bust.”
Housing affordability While the U.S. is experiencing historically normal levels of affordability, potential buyers may be staying out of the market because of perceived problems with affordability.
“NAR research shows that a lower percentage of consumers think that now is a good time to buy, while more are indicating that it is a good time to sell,” said Yun. “Problems could arise if the market is flooded with too many sellers and not enough buyers. Fortunately, that does not appear to be the case, as indicated by months’ supply of inventory at below five months.”
Sturtevant discussed the importance of homeownership on a social level – how homeowners’ physical and mental health tends to be better than non-owners, and owners have greater opportunity for economic self-sufficiency. Additionally, communities with more homeowners tend to be more economically prosperous and better able to attract and retain workers.
“I am a researcher, not an advocate; but the results of my research have compelled me to see the importance of affordable, stable housing and the positive economic impact to local communities,” said Sturtevant.
2019 forecast Looking to next year, Yun said, “The forecast for home sales will be very boring – meaning stable.”
With a few months of data remaining in 2018, Yun estimates that existing-home sales will finish this year at a pace of 5.345 million – a decrease from 2017 (5.51 million). In 2019, sales are forecasted to increase to 5.4 million, a 1 percent increase.
The national median existing-home price is expected to rise to around $266,800 in 2019 – up 3.1 percent from 2018 this year and $274,000 in 2020.
“Home price appreciation will slow down – the days of easy price gains are coming to an end – but prices will continue to rise,” Yun said.
All of Yun’s forecasts, however, are dependent on higher levels of home production.
“All indications are that we have a housing shortage,” said Yun. “If you look at population growth and job growth, it is clear that we are not producing enough houses. This is often a local issue, not a national one, so NAR has created a website where local associations and Realtors can go for information on how to advocate for increased supply in their communities.”
Yun noted that the overall health of the U.S. economy is “good.” He said that the U.S. has low unemployment, record high job openings, historically low jobless claims, job additions for eight straight years and wages are beginning to increase.
“This type of activity in the economy should support the housing market, even as interest rates rise,” said Yun.
