This month weโre focusing on the trending unemployment rate.
Monitoring the percentage of a market that is unemployed is a key indicator of whether the local population will be able to afford purchasing in their market.
An increasing unemployment rate can mean that the population will not be in a position to be purchasing housing, therefore decreasing demand, and ultimately softening prices. The converse is also true - a decreasing unemployment rate will mean that the population is broadly feeling more financially secure, which will increase buying demand.
The unemployment rate is just one of many metrics we use to assess short and long term price movement.
