Last Week in Review: Goldilocks Scenario for Housing Continues…
The housing market is enjoying a great 2019 and the good times are poised to continue. We are seeing home price gains slow to a healthier level and at an equilibrium with wage growth. Consumer and business confidence remain at multi-decade highs, unemployment rates are at 51-year lows, stocks are at all-time highs, and thanks to slowing economies abroad and low inflation … the Fed is expected to cut interest rates at the July FOMC meeting. Couple all of this great momentum with home loan rates just .50% above the best levels ever, and you have a Goldilocks housing scenario for the foreseeable future.
This is great news for those who are thinking about refinancing an existing property or purchasing a new home.
