Real estate market report reveals critical data on mortgage rates, home prices, and inventory shifts.
ORLANDO, Fla. - June 27, 2024 - PRLog -- The much-anticipated "Mid-Year Market Update for 2024" report has been released, offering valuable insights into current real estate market trends. This comprehensive report sheds light on mortgage rate developments, home price stability, and emerging inventory trends that are pivotal for buyers and sellers navigating the market this year.
Due to persistent inflation, the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain the overnight rate at a 23-year high has delayed anticipated mortgage rate cuts. Consequently, the average 30-year mortgage rate hovers around 7% rather than the projected 6%. Despite this, the market presents promising opportunities: the inventory shortage is easing, and the availability of starter homes is rising, helping to stabilize median home prices. Also, sellers increasingly list properties, contributing to a more balanced market.
"We are seeing positive changes that could benefit buyers and sellers," said Bent Danholm, Real Estate Marketing Specialist and Broker with MAXIM Realty Orlando. "More inventory on the market means more options for buyers and fewer bidding wars, which helps keep price growth manageable."
Key Findings from the Report:
- Mortgage Rates: High inflation has postponed rate cuts, with significant drops not expected before September. The current average 30-year mortgage rate remains around 7%.
- Home Prices: The national median home price has stabilized, with smaller, more affordable homes entering the market. Home price growth is predicted to continue at a gradual pace.
- Inventory Trends: More homes are being listed for sale, providing more options for buyers. However, inventory levels are still below pre-pandemic norms.
Implications for Buyers and Sellers:
- Buyers: Increased inventory and stable prices present good opportunities, especially for first-time buyers.
- Sellers: With more competition on the market, it's essential to act swiftly and strategically to ensure a successful sale.
