The latest housing market trends

July 2023 – The nation’s housing industry has entered a new normal in which the dynamics of the market appear perplexing — marked by high mortgage rates and high home prices, along with shrinking mortgage originations, HousingWire reporter Bill Conroy wrote in a recent feature.

The perplexing part: Why are home prices not declining in this environment? It boils down to two factors, according to housing-industry experts: a lack of housing inventory, or supply; and high demand for that limited housing stock — which also is fueling a jump in new-home sales.

This is a trend that has prevailed throughout the first half of the year, and without a significant uptick in for-sale inventory, or another massive shift in the market, is likely to continue ad nauseam. But whatever happens, HousingWire will be there to cover it and keep you informed with the information you need to know.
