This webinar, featuring presentations by Rick Sharga, EVP of Market Intelligence for ATTOM and Mike Simonsen, Founder and CEO of Altos Research, offers an in-depth analysis into current housing market conditions, an overview of the state of the economy, and a dive into the latest data on sales prices, inventory, home affordability, the distressed market and more.
During this webinar, Rick presents the U.S. economic update, examining key metrics, including a detailed look at how GDP is trending, employment recovery, labor shortage, wage growth, inflation rate, consumer spending, consumer confidence and recession forecasts.
Also during this webinar, Mike Simonsen provides a look at U.S. housing market data trends, exploring various comparisons, from existing and new home sales, to mortgage rate trends, home affordability, home prices, investor activity and inventory trends.
A few of the key points Mike presents based on the data include:
- May 2022 shows the 10th straight month of lower existing home sales.
- New home sales are falling quickly.
- Increasing interest rates and prices are impacting affordability.
- Inventory is growing rapidly, while demand may be weakening.
Rick continues the conversation by jumping into foreclosure activity, examining forbearance trends by investor type, borrower exit rationale, mortgage delinquency rates, foreclosure starts and foreclosure completions over time.
A few of the key points Rick presents based on the data include:
- GDP is showing signs of weakening, as employment has almost fully recovered.
- Labor shortage pushes wage growth higher, and inflation is at the highest rate in over 40 years.
- Over 400,000 loans remain in forbearance; however, delinquencies are back to normal levels.
- Foreclosure activity is still well below normal, and foreclosure starts are even less.
