"Mortgage rates continue to escalate, moving closer to 6%. According to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 5.89%, surpassing their recent high in mid-June. As a result, the monthly mortgage payment is about 60% higher compared to last year. While borrowing costs have increased faster than peopleโ€™s wages, buyers currently need to spend 10% more of their budget for their mortgage payment if they want to buy the median-priced home....Nevertheless, home prices continue to rise as inventory remains tight." - NAR

โ€œThe Freddie Mac fixed rate for a 30-year loan took a sharp drop last week, falling to 5.30% and offsetting some of the significant rate increases of May and June amid rising recession concerns. The 40 basis point fall from last week comes on the heels of the recent volatility in the 10-year Treasury yield, which dropped below 2.8% in the first week of July and rebounded to 2.9% after spending most of June above 3%. Continued fears of a bear market have driven investors into safer, longer-term bonds, driving up the price of the 10-year note and pushing its yield below that of the 2-year Treasury. Economists and policy makers will watch closely to see whether these market conditions will lead to increases in the unemployment rate or decreases in production that characterize a recession. โ€œ

The first quarter of 2022 saw a spike in mortgage rates. The 156 basis point (1.56 percent) increase was the fastest three-month increase since May 1994, according to Freddie Mac.
Interest rates may continue to rise as the pandemic's economic impact fades, inflation rises to 40-year highs, and the Federal Reserve announces an aggressive policy strategy.
With the Fed announcing future rate hikes, mortgage markets have likely already factored in a significant portion of the impact. If the economy encounters headwinds, a surge in positive Covid instances could result in some weekly drops.
Experts from the Mortgage Bankers Association, the National Association of Realtors, and other industry experts disagree on whether 30-year mortgage rates will rise or remain flat in June.

Real Estate Market Re-cap

Will Housing Market Crash in 2022?
ย  ย 
The home price growth in the United States will โ€œmoderateโ€ or slow down in 2022, but shows no signs of a crash. The housing market has been along for much of the ride and continues to benefit greatly from the overall health of the economy. However, hot economies eventually cool and with that, hot housing markets are expected to move more towards balance.
ย  ย 
The latest housing market trends show that prices are rising in most parts of the country and most price segments because of the lack of supply, St. Louis has seen a considerable decline in supply since 2012. Economic activities are ramping up in all the sectors, mortgage rates are rising, and jobs are also recovering. As of now, low mortgage rates are providing opportunities for buyers to lock in low monthly mortgage payments for future years.
ย  ย ย 
The graphs show the data trends in the St. Louis County market from January 2011 to December 2021 for;
  • Average Sales Price,
  • Average % of List Price Paid
  • Median Price Per Sqft
  • Months Supply of Housing Inventory
ย  ย 
Each data point is 12 months of activity. Data is from December 7, 2021. All data from MARIS.
