I want to keep things very simple: We had one period where national home prices crashed, and to replicate that model, you will need some similar variables, mainly distressed sellers or people forced to sell into a declining marketplace. Some people believed rising mortgage rates over the last two years would automatically mean home prices would crash. History disagrees with this assertion. The data has shown us for decades that we have periods in history where we have had both rising mortgage rates and inventory without home prices crashing.

June prices fall in first since 2020

A key price gauge showed inflation falling for the first time since the pandemic in June, bolstering the case for interest-rate cuts. The U.S. Consumer Price Index, excluding volatile food and fuel, declined 0.1% last month from May, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday. Meanwhile, both the overall and core indexes cooled more than expected on an annual basis, to 3% and 3.3% respectively. The report adds to evidence that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has said is needed for the bank to lower rates from their 23-year high.
