Mortgage Rates Rise
March 10, 2022
Following two weeks of declines, mortgage rates rose this week as U.S. Treasury yields increased. Over the long-term, we expect rates to continue to rise as inflation broadens and shortages increasingly impact many segments of the economy. However, uncertainty about the war in Ukraine is driving rate volatility that likely will continue in the short-term.

Nationally, pending home sales decreased 5.7% as of last measure, marking the third consecutive month of declines according to the National Association of REALTORS®. With housing supply at a record low, buyers are finding fewer and fewer homes for sale, while rising mortgage rates and increased housing costs have priced out marginal buyers. Inventory levels are expected to improve gradually as the weather warms; in the meantime, economists say buyers should expect a challenging spring market.

Mortgage Rates Fall
March 3, 2022
Geopolitical tensions caused U.S. Treasury yields to recede this week as investors moved to the safety of bonds, leading to a drop in mortgage rates. While inflationary pressures remain, the cascading impacts of the war in Ukraine have created market uncertainty. Consequently, rates are expected to stay low in the short-term but will likely increase in the coming months.

Weekly Market Report
Median rental prices have increased by double-digits for eight consecutive months, rising 19.8% year-over-year. While home prices continue to climb, according to Realtor.com’s January Rental Report, buying a starter home is more affordable than renting a similar sized apartment in more than half of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. That’s because, nationally, rent growth is rising faster than home prices, with economists expecting rental prices to outpace listing price growth in 2022.
