Almost 90% of Metro Areas Posted Home Price Increases in Third Quarter of 2024

Washington, D.C., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

Key Highlights

  • Single-family existing-home sales prices climbed in 87% of measured metro areas – 196 of 226 – in the third quarter, down from 89% in the prior quarter. The national median single-family existing-home price grew 3.1% from a year ago to $418,700.
  • Fifteen markets (7%) experienced double-digit annual price appreciation (down from 13% in the previous quarter).
  • The monthly mortgage payment on a typical, existing single-family home with a 20% down payment was $2,137 – down 2.4% from one year ago.

WASHINGTON (November 7, 2024) – Approximately 90% of metro markets (196 out of 226, or 87%) registered home price gains in the third quarter of 2024, as the 30-year fixed mortgage rate ranged from 6.08% to 6.95%, according to the National Association of Realtors®latest quarterly report. Seven percent of the 226 tracked metro areas recorded double-digit price gains over the same period, down from 13% in the second quarter.
“Home prices remain on solid ground as reflected by the vast number of markets experiencing gains,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “A typical homeowner accumulated $147,000 in housing wealth in the last five years. Even with the rapid price appreciation over the last few years, the likelihood of a market crash is minimal. Distressed property sales and the number of people defaulting on mortgage payments are both at historic lows.”
Compared to one year ago, the national median single-family existing-home price ascended 3.1% to $418,700. In the prior quarter, the year-over-year national median price increased 4.9%.
Among the major U.S. regions, the South registered the largest share of single-family existing-home sales (45.1%) in the third quarter, with year-over-year price appreciation of 0.8%. Prices also increased 7.8% in the Northeast, 4.3% in the Midwest and 1.8% in the West.[1]
The top 10 metro areas with the largest year-over-year median price increases, which can be influenced by the types of homes sold during the quarter, all experienced gains of at least 10.6%. Four of the markets were in Illinois. Overall, those markets were Racine, Wis. (13.7%); Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio-Pa. (13.1%); Syracuse, N.Y. (13.0%); Peoria, Ill. (12.4%); Springfield, Ill. (12.3%); Burlington-South Burlington, Vt. (11.7%); Shreveport-Bossier City, La. (11.5%); Rockford, Ill. (11.1%); Decatur, Ill. (10.9%); and Norwich-New London, Conn. (10.6%).
Eight of the top 10 most expensive markets in the U.S. were in California. Overall, those markets were San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. ($1,900,000; 2.7%); Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine, Calif. ($1,398,500; 7.2%); San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, Calif. ($1,309,000; 0.7%); Urban Honolulu, Hawaii ($1,138,000; 7.2%); San Diego-Carlsbad, Calif. ($1,010,000; 3.2%); Salinas, Calif. ($959,800; 1.5%); San Luis Obispo-Paso Robles, Calif. ($949,800; 6.7%); Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. ($947,500; 5.6%); Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, Calif. ($947,400; 2.8%); and Boulder, Colo. ($832,200; -3.0%).
Nearly 13% of markets (29 of 226) experienced home price declines in the third quarter, up from almost 10% in the second quarter.
Housing affordability slightly improved in the third quarter as mortgage rates trended lower. The monthly mortgage payment on a typical existing single-family home with a 20% down payment was $2,137, down 5.5% from the second quarter ($2,262) and 2.4% – or $52 – from one year ago. Families typically spent 25.2% of their income on mortgage payments, down from 26.9% in the prior quarter and 27.1% one year ago.
“Housing affordability has been a challenge, but the worst appears to be over,” Yun said. “Rising wages are outpacing home price increases. Despite some short-term swings, mortgage rates are set to stabilize below last year’s levels. More inventory is reaching the market and providing additional options for consumers.”
First-time buyers found marginally better affordability conditions compared to the previous quarter. For a typical starter home valued at $355,900 with a 10% down payment loan, the monthly mortgage payment declined to $2,097, down 5.5% from the prior quarter ($2,218). That was a decrease of $49, or 2.3%, from one year ago ($2,146). First-time buyers typically spent 38% of their family income on mortgage payments, down from 40.6% in the previous quarter.
A family needed a qualifying income of at least $100,000 to afford a 10% down payment mortgage in 42.5% of markets, down from 48% in the prior quarter. Yet, a family needed a qualifying income of less than $50,000 to afford a home in 2.2% of markets, down from 2.7% in the previous quarter.

Information about NAR is available at nar.realtor. This and other news releases are posted in the newsroom at nar.realtor/newsroom. Statistical data in this release, as well as other tables and surveys, are posted in the “Research and Statistics” tab.

Data tables for MSA home prices (single-family and condo) are posted at https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/housing-statistics/metropolitan-median-area-prices-and-affordability. If insufficient data is reported for an MSA in a particular quarter, it is listed as N/A. For areas not covered in the tables, please contact the local association of Realtors®.

NOTE: NAR releases quarterly median single-family price data for approximately 220 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). In some cases, the MSA prices may not coincide with data released by state and local Realtor® associations. Any discrepancy may be due to differences in geographic coverage, product mix, and timing. In the event of discrepancies, Realtors® are advised that for business purposes, local data from their association may be more relevant.


[1] Areas are generally metropolitan statistical areas as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. NAR adheres to the OMB definitions, although in some areas an exact match is not possible from the available data. A list of counties included in MSA definitions is available at: https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/demo/metro-micro/delineation-files.html.
Regional median home prices are from a separate sampling that includes rural areas and portions of some smaller metros that are not included in this report; the regional percentage changes do not necessarily parallel changes in the larger metro areas. The only valid comparisons for median prices are with the same period a year earlier due to seasonality in buying patterns. Quarter-to-quarter comparisons do not compensate for seasonal changes, especially for the timing of family buying patterns.
Median price measurement reflects the types of homes that are selling during the quarter and can be skewed at times by changes in the sales mix. For example, changes in the level of distressed sales, which are heavily discounted, can vary notably in given markets and may affect percentage comparisons. Annual price measures generally smooth out any quarterly swings.
NAR began tracking of metropolitan area median single-family home prices in 1979; the metro area condo price series dates back to 1989.
The seasonally adjusted annual rate for a particular quarter represents what the total number of actual sales for a year would be if the relative sales pace for that quarter was maintained for four consecutive quarters. Total home sales include single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-operative housing.

Why Trump's Boost To Treasury Yields, Inflation Expectations May Weaken Fed's Efforts To Cut Interest Rates

Rising U.S. Treasury yields and a strengthening in the value of the dollar in the wake of Donald Trump’s return to the White House are threatening to counteract the Federal Reserve’s efforts to lower interest rates.

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points on Thursday, marking a back-to-back reduction and bringing the policy rate to a range of 4.5%-4.75%, the lowest since February 2023.

The bond market appears less influenced by the Fed’s dovish stance and more by the fiscal and inflationary implications of Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.

Trump’s Fiscal Plans Drive Deficit Concerns

Trump’s proposed fiscal policies are expected to add significantly to the U.S. national debt.

According to the nonprofit Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), Trump’s tax and spending plans could increase the federal deficit by approximately $7.75 trillion between 2026 and 2035 in a baseline scenario.

This would push the debt-to-GDP ratio from 102% to a staggering 143%, or 18% higher than current law projections.

In a high-deficit scenario, the CRFB estimates that deficits could swell by $15.55 trillion, elevating the debt-to-GDP ratio to 157%.

Such a sharp rise in the national debt would necessitate a sharp increase in Treasury issuance by the government in the upcoming years, putting upward pressure on yields as investors demand higher returns to offset heightened risks of fiscal instability.

On top of that, Trump’s pledge to raise import tariffs — by 60% on goods from China and 10% on imports from other countries — is widely viewed by economists as an inflationary move.

Treasury yields have surged sharply in under two months, with the 10-year yield climbing from 3.6% to 4.35%. As a result, the U.S. 10 Year Treasury Note ETF UTEN has fallen by over 5% since its September highs.

Rising Yields Complicate Fed’s Easing Path

In the meantime, the Fed cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September and guided investors toward a further cut in November, a stance that would typically lower borrowing costs and ease financial conditions.

The bond market’s reaction has been the opposite, creating tighter financial conditions that investors wouldn’t normally expect under a Fed easing bias.

In addition to rising yields, the U.S. dollar has also strengthened significantly.

“Bond yields are rising for a good reason, as the economy is holding up stronger than expected and markets are also pricing in continued government spending and the potential for widening deficits,” said Glen Smith, chief investment officer at GDS Wealth Management.

The recent spike in yields is undermining the Fed’s attempts to ease financial conditions, the CIO said.

“Rising bond yields are reversing the Fed’s efforts to loosen policy, as bond yields determine the interest rates that consumers pay on mortgages and credit cards,” he said.

Smith suggested Thursday’s expected rate cut could be the last for a while, as the Fed might pause its rate cuts in December and into 2025 if the economy remains resilient and disinflation slows.

Inflation Expectations Spike With Trump Win

Trump’s return to the White House has heightened inflationary concerns.

The five-year breakeven inflation rate, a widely watched gauge of inflation expectations derived from Treasury yields, rose by 14 basis points to 2.46% on Wednesday.

This shift indicates that investors are now anticipating inflation to average 2.5% over the next five years, well above the Fed’s 2% target.

Russell Shor, senior market specialist at Jefferies-owned trading platform Tradu, warned that Trump’s policies could push inflation even higher.

“With Trump’s return to the White House, the Fed may feel pressure to tighten its stance on inflation. His tariff and immigration plans could drive up prices, and the central bank will be watching closely for any inflation resurgence,” Shor said.

Bonds And Fed Front And Center As Bonds Approach Bottom Support Zone After Trump Win

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.

Bonds Fall On Trump Win

Please click here for an enlarged chart of iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF TLT.

Note the following:

  • After Trump’s win, bonds are front and center.
  • The chart shows when the contrary Arora call was made that bonds would fall.  That call was made at a time when everyone was predicting that bonds would rise. 
  • The chart shows when the Arora call was made about the election.  We wrote in the Morning Capsule on October 8, “In the event of a one party sweep, TLT can potentially fall to the bottom support zone.”
  • The chart shows that the second Arora call on bonds has proven accurate after Trump’s win.
  • The chart shows when Trump won the election.
  • The chart shows that on Trump’s win, TLT gapped down and opened close to the top and of the bottom support zone.  Yesterday’s bar does not show premarket data.  In the premarket, TLT touched the top band of the support zone.  On The Arora Report charts, premarket data is included on the current day, but not on the previous days.  This methodology provides the most clarity.
  • The FOMC will announce its rate decision at 2pm ET, followed by Powell’s press conference at 2:30pm ET.
  • The consensus is that the Fed will cut rates by 25 bps.
  • In The Arora Report analysis, the Fed could not possibly be happy about the large drop in bonds after the last rate cut.  We will be paying careful attention to what Powell says about the drop in bonds in his press conference.  If Powell says anything about this subject, it will be the most important new information that can be gleaned today.  
  • Most institutional investors and many retail investors have suffered massive losses in bonds.  It is important to remember that the largest amount of money is still managed using the 60/40 portfolio as a starting point.  This means 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds.  The Arora Report has long shown that following the protection band is heads and shoulders above following the 60/40 portfolio.  Nonetheless, the dogma of 60/40 remains popular.  This is the reason we publish information on 60/40 portfolios.  For those following the 60/40 portfolio, The Arora Report call has been to limit the duration to less than five years.  The Arora Report call on duration has been consistent at a time when a vast majority of money managers were significantly increasing duration. The longer the bond duration, the larger the losses investors have suffered.
  • In The Arora Report analysis, after Trump’s election the Fed is faced with two important issues:
    • In The Arora Report analysis, depending upon how Trump implements his tariff plan, it may add 0.5% – 1% to inflation.  
    • According to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Trump’s tax plans will increase the national deficit by $7.8T over the next 10 years.  All of this deficit will have to be financed by borrowing.  This will increase the supply of Treasuries.  A higher supply of Treasuries will lead to higher interest rates on the long end, unless the Fed decides to manipulate it with quantitative easing or some other artificial method.
  • At a time when the stock market is at an all time high and bonds are suffering major losses, there is not good news on the economic data front.  
    • Unit labor costs are spiking.  Q3 Unite Labor Costs – Preliminary came at 1.9% vs. 0.5% consensus.
    • As of this writing, the momo crowd is oblivious.  However, expect smart money to pay attention to this important, highly inflationary data. Also expect the Fed to pay attention to this data.
  • Initial jobless claims came at 221K vs. 222K consensus.  This indicates that the employment picture remains strong, especially at the low end.
  • In The Arora Report analysis, there is another important question that the Fed will have to face.  Trump plans to deport undocumented immigrants.  According to the Department of Homeland Security, there are about 11M undocumented immigrants in the U.S. What happens to labor supply at the low end if 11M workers are taken out of the workforce?  What does it do to inflation?  What does it do to economic growth, and in turn the stock and bond markets? 

England

The Bank of England has cut interest rates.  The key interest has been reduced to 4.75% from 5%.

This is the first cut by a major central bank after Trump’s election.   Investors should keep an eye on how the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan act after Trump’s election.  Remember, the U.S. economy is intertwined with the global economy.  

Magnificent Seven Money Flows

In the early trade, money flows are positive in Apple Inc AAPL, Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN, Alphabet Inc Class C GOOG, Meta Platforms Inc META, Microsoft Corp MSFT, and NVIDIA Corp NVDA.

In the early trade, money flows are negative in Tesla Inc TSLA.

In the early trade, money flows are positive in SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 QQQ.

Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks

Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust GLD.  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust SLV.  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF USO.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin BTC/USD is range bound.

Protection Band And What To Do Now

It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.  The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.

Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.

You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.  The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.  If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.

A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.  A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.

It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.  When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.  High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.

Traditional 60/40 Portfolio

Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.

Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.  Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.
