Many reports on June housing sales pace showed the slowest in the past 6 months. Would you think the seller's market will be ended soon? In fact, the answer is no. Based on CoreLogic forecasts, home prices will climb another 3.2% by June 2022.

According to the report of Yahoo Finance digested from Fortune.com, the foreclosure moratorium, has been ended on July 31. Some of major banks like Chase has released foreclosure houses. Next, the mortgage forbearance program, which allows some borrowers to pause their payments; will be ended on Sept. 30. Since this program still protects 1.75 million borrowers, or 3.5% of U.S. mortgages, it could cause some of home owners to sell their house instead of restarting their mortgage payments. The housing inventory would be risen and slowed down the market

Then, why the housing price is still going high? The increasing supply is still shorter than demand. There are largest tranche of millennials born between 1989 and 1993, in their thirties looking for their first-homebuying during this period. However, there are not enough new construction in the market because some of homebuilders are still struggled with the financial scars of the 2008 housing bubble and subsequent foreclosure crisis.
