January 2012 Existing Home Sales Increase

Real Estate Market Shows Signs of Recovery in January 2012

Many are still wondering when and if the real estate market will recover.  Recent reports by NAR’s chief economist, Lawerence Yun, tell us we’re not there yet, but definetely showing consistent postitive signs of recovery.  Recent home sales statistics show inventories continue to improve and Exisiting-home sales rose in January 2012, marking three gains in the past four months.  Total existing homes sales, including single-family, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops, increased 4.3 percent in January to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.57 million, which is .7 percent above a spike in January 2011 at 4.54 million.

Lawerence Yun said strong gains in contract activity in recent months show buyers are responding to very favorable market conditions.   Mr. Yun explained, “The uptrend in home sales is in line with all of the underlying fundamentals including pent-up household formation, record-low mortgage interent rates, bargain home prices, sustained job creation and rising rents.”  Housing inventory fell .4 percent at the end of January to 2.31 existing homes available for sale, which represents an approximate 6.1 month supply, down from a 6.4 month supply in December 2011.The Pending Home Sales Index, an indicator used to track contract signings, also rose from 95.1 in December 2011 to 97.0 in January 2012. 

The Pending Home Sales Index hasn’t been this high since the home buyer tax credit incentive in April 2010 when it reached 111.3.  Mr. Yun said this is yet another hopeful indicator going into the Spring home-buying season.   Mr. Yun also said, “Given more favorable housing market conditions, the trend in contract activity implies we are on track for a more meaningful sales gain in 2012.  With a sustained downtrend in unsold inventory, this would bring about a broad price stabilization or even modest national price growth, of course with local variations.”

2012 Real Estate Market Forecast

All signs are pointing to a real estate housing market recovery in 2012 according to recent reports.  Rising rent rates, decreasing inventory, low mortgage rates, and an increase in jobs offer a glimpse of hope that both the housing market and economy as a whole are heading in the right direction.   Existing and pending home sales reports for October and November 2011 indicate good signs for the new year and a positive U.S. Economic Outlook for 2012.  According to NAR, pending homes sales rose again in November 2011 7.3% over October and 5.9% over November 2010.  The November pending home sales increase reached the highest level in 19 months, due in part to affordability conditions including low interest rates.  Pending homes sales are expected to continue in 2012.  Pending Home Sales Rise in November

According to NAR, the possibility of an economic recession is looking less likely and a housing recovery is on the way.  Despite external market variables, including the Eurozone, the U.S. housing market is showing strong signs of recovery.  The latest pending homes sales index which reflects contract signings to purchase a home, rose more than 10% in October 2011 from the previous month and more than 9% from one year ago.  There are still housing obstacles to overcome such as tight lending and high inventory issues, but banks are starting to loan and inventory is showing a consistent downward trend.  The total number of homes listed for sale at the end of October was 3.3 million, down from 4.5 million in the middle of 2008.  The month of October registered the lowest housing inventory  since 2005.   Good Signs for the 2012 Housing Market

Existing Home Sales increased in November 2011 and are expected to climb throughout 2012 according to NAR.  Recent home sales data reports completed transactions, including single family, condominiums, and townhomes increased 4% to a seasonally annually adjusted rate of 4.42 milliion n November 2011 from 4.25 million in October, which is 12.2 percent above the 3.94 million pace in November 2010.  Lawerence Yun, NAR chief economist, attributes the recent gain to people taking advantage of the buyer’s market and record low interest rates.  Sales reached the highest mark in 10 months close to 34% above the cyclical low point in mid 2010.  Lawrence Yun summarized current market conditions by saying, “A genuine sustained sales recovery appears to be developing”.  Existing Home Sales Conintue to Climb in November

Another positive indicator of the increase in real estate market activity is online home searches.  Realtor.com recently published results on the 10 most searched real estate markets online.  The Dallas real estate market ranked #9 with a median home price of $194,900.
