June Inventory shows modest increases

June 3, 2023 · by Andrew Oliver · in Essex County Housing News, Market Reports

Single Family Homes (SFH)
After holding steady for much of the year, SFH inventory did see a boost in June, albeit only to the levels of the last two years and still well below that in 2020:

Condos
Condo inventory saw a more modest increase and remains well below half the 2020 level:

Mortgage rates
As inflation soared well beyond the Fed’s preferred 2%, interest rates climbed in 2022, driving mortgage rates to a multi-year high.
As inflation appeared to slow in early 2023, coupled with the failure of some large banks, the yield on 10T dropped, leading to a drop in the FRM of 1% . Inflation, however, has remained stubbornly high – and the labour market stubbornly strong- causing interest rates and the FRM to move up again.
