Latest Signals
Purchase Applications Rebounding Off Lows
Mortgage purchase applications up 3.2% as the 30-year eased toward 6.7% mid-month. Demand is rate-sensitive but responsive — a constructive sign for spring volume.
Inventory Rebuild Pressuring Pricing Power
Months of supply rose to 3.5 from 2.6 a year ago. Still seller-favorable, but the cushion that drove double-digit appreciation is thinning.
Permit Pullback Eases Future Oversupply Risk
Building permits annualized at 1.42M, down 4% — fewer completions into 2026 support pricing for existing inventory.
Price Growth Settling Into a 2–3% Lane
Median sale price up 2.1% YoY, well off the 2021–22 surge. The pace of deceleration is slowing — likely finding a sustainable baseline.
