June Survey of Real Estate Agents: Rising Rates Scare Buyers...Into Acting; Inventory Rem ains Lim iting
Traffic rem ains healthy in the face of rising m ortgage rates, continuing to push prices higher: While there were spotty reports of some buyers being turned off by the sharp increase in mortgage rates, the majority of agents comments across markets said the move is driving a heightened sense of urgency among buyers, who fear missing out if they wait. More often, comments in the markets with lower traffic readings pointed to frustrations over an insufficient supply of quality listings, as well as agents having higher expectations (so that levels which would have warranted a more than expected response several months ago is now a meets expectations). This is leading to higher prices, though we would expect to see a moderation in demand and home prices if rates rise too much further in the near term.
Prices m arch higher; index hits another new high: Our home price index increased to 87.3 in June from 84.9 in May, with rising prices noted in all 40 markets and an index of 80 or higher in 35 of the 40 markets. This continues to point to broad price appreciation, though we still note further increases in our index will be difficult to achieve from these high levels. Markets in California and Florida led the pack along with Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, and Seattle. Modest decline in our traffic index not bad, all things considered: Our buyer traffic index edged down to 60.5 in June from 63.4 in May, remaining at levels indicative of traffic exceeding agents expectations for this time of year. Only seeing a slight decline is encouraging to us, given how quickly mortgage rates moved up during the month. Atlanta, New York Metro Area, Orlando, Washington D.C., and Detroit were among the weakest markets, while San Diego, Inland Empire, Houston and Dallas were the strongest. Tight supplies persist, contributing to a shorter tim e needed to sell: Our home listings index fell to 61.8 in June from 67.1 in May, pointing to overall inventory levels continuing to remain tight, though more markets showed signs of sellers beginning to emerge. Meanwhile, the time needed to sell continued to trend lower, as our index came in at 75.9 vs. 81.1 in May. This is a positive for pricing, though increasing inventory levels could temper the pace of recent gains.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic fell in June and dipped below agents expectations, as our index fell to 43 from 53 (below a neutral 50). Most agents cited low supply, whether they noted stronger or weaker trends. Those who said traffic weakened said buyers have become frustrated and are taking a break, while others said the lack of supply is creating urgency. Home prices increased again, as our price index came in at 80 vs. 93 in May, still well above a neutral 50. Inventory levels fell, but there are signs that sellers are becoming more willing and able to sell at current levels.

<50 - Lower than Prior Month; =50 - Flat vs Prior Month; >50 - Higher than Prior Month

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers are frustrated due to the shortage of homes for sale on the market. Fewer buyers. Buyers do not have a sense of urgency.. Low inventory levels/purchase options. In many areas of the Atlanta market, there are many more buyers than there are properties for sale. I think that rising interest rates are also getting many buyers who have been on the fence to get more motivated to buy sooner, rather than later. Rates edging up has some buyers jumping off the fence.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic appeared to fall seasonally in June, but remained above agents expectations. Our traffic index fell to 63 from 81 in May, still above a neutral 50. Continued job growth, rising rates, and tight inventory levels were all cited as primary drivers. Home prices continued to march higher, as our home price index came in at a still-strong 86 vs. 100 in May. Low inventory levels and a shorter time to sell continue to point to rising prices in the months ahead, though more sellers will likely start to emerge.

<50 - Lower than Prior Month; =50 - Flat vs Prior Month; >50 - Higher than Prior Month

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


It's all about interest rates and diminishing supply. Builders prices have risen too high and too fast, so this housing boom is leaving re-sales as our only avenue. A little more inventory is creeping on the market. We're on a roll. While there is no price bubble, our housing market is strong and solid. Qualified buyers rule. Because of multiple offers, we are asked to provide proof of funding not only for the mortgage, but also for the down payment to give the offer more credibility. Builders are still blowing through any inventory left.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic remained weaker than expected in June, as our traffic index fell to 30 from 39 in May, below a neutral 50. Agents responses were similar to last months, centering around the relatively weak local economy and employment conditions along with the recent increase in prices and rates. Home prices increased again despite the weaker traffic, as our price index increased to 100 from 83. However, better demand will likely be needed to sustain these increases. Inventory levels flattened out in June, while the time needed to sell decreased.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers think that prices have risen more than they have and that interest rates may not be as good as they were several months ago. Severe lack of inventory. Interest rates starting to go up; this has scared buyers into making decisions. Buyers are still out there looking at new inventory.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic remained at similar, solid levels in June vs. May, as our traffic index edged up to 68 from 67 (above a neutral reading of 50). Agents cited increased buyer urgency as mortgage rates began to increase, while additional inventory in some areas has provided more options. Home prices increased broadly in June, as our price index came in at 93 vs. 92, with almost all agents noting higher prices. Lower inventory levels and a shorter time to sell are positive leading indicators for near-term home price trends.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


A slight rise in interest rates helped fuel an already active market. More inventory has come on the market allowing buyers something to buy. Buyers are jumping in to buy because they are hearing interest rates are going up. Development of the waterfront district is spurring strong trends in South Boston.

Our Take:

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Sales had been increasing the last several months and now mid-June starting to slow down again. I do not see an increase in buyers. I have no REO buyers, just two that are interested in buying. Buyers are wishywashy just like last year is my experience. Prices seem to be rising along with mortgage rates. Appraisers are doing better.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic levels remained healthy in June, as our traffic index came in at 60 vs. 67 in May, still indicating levels above agents expectations. Agents suggested the combination of low inventory levels and rising mortgage rates is fueling buyer urgency. Home prices increased again in June, as our home price index increased to 90 from 88 in May. Inventory levels and the time to sell trends remained favorable in June, pointing to higher home prices in the months ahead.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Seems like the market has leveled off a bit since the spring flurry. Mortgage rates moved up as anticipated. Rising interest rates are getting buyers off the fence, but lack of inventory is frustrating in the better school districts. Rising interest rates have spurred buyers to search for housing. Summer is always a bit slower but with the low inventory, buyers are regularly checking the market for their dream home.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic remained at solid levels above agents expectations in June, as our traffic index edged down to 64 from 68 but remained above a neutral 50. Agents noted a growing sense of urgency among buyers following the rise in prices and now rates, though there is still a lack of quality inventory holding the market back. Home prices continued to recover in June, as our home price index was essentially unchanged at 80 vs. 81 in May. Lower inventory levels and a shorter time to sell should continue to support higher prices in the coming months.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Has slowed down a bit from hot spring, but this is typical for end-of-school-year lull. Increased comfort; market shifting so clients want to beat the increasing prices; still great interest rates. The rise in interest rates is finally making the buyers buy, plus many people who sold 5 years ago short are now back in the market. No fresh inventory...it's the same junk that's been on the market for months! Higher rates spooked fence sitters...now they're waiting for rates to go back down.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic levels declined in June and fell short of agents expectations for this time of year, as our index fell to 33 from 50 in May (below a neutral reading of 50). Agents cited a pause in buying decisions given the sharpness of the recent move higher in rates. Home prices increased, though our reading dipped sharply to 58 in June from 79 in May, suggesting the gains were not as broad-based as in recent months. Inventory levels continued to trend lower, though our time to sell index fell closer to a neutral level.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our buyer traffic index jumped to 70 in June from 50 in May, pointing to better traffic levels, ahead of agents expectations for this time of year (a reading of 50). While the lack of inventory is still somewhat limiting, agents said buyers are scrambling to find homes and want to get in before mortgage rates increase much further. Every agent surveyed pointed to higher home prices over the past 30 days, as our price index increased to 100 from 83. Inventory levels increased again, though, which could slow price gains.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Low inventory has buyers scrambling. Lack of inventory offers little choice. Some buyers are holding off until the market opens up a little more. Increased buyer confidence, fear of increasing interest rates, and lower levels of inventory are leading to buyer competition. Appraisers seem to be a bit behind the price curve.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our buyer traffic index bounced back a bit in June after declining in April and May, pointing to traffic levels remaining well above expectations. Our index improved to 70 from 65. Agents noted increased confidence from both buyers and sellers, along with healthy local job growth and a desire to lock in current prices and rates. Agents continued to point to broad price gains, as our price index came in at 87 in June vs. 90 in May. Rising home prices seem to finally be encouraging more sellers, as our home listings index fell closer to a neutral level.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers and sellers are ready and thinking this is a great time to buy or sell. They are uncertain how long the window will last and want to capitalize on the current market. More buyers, jobs, confidence and the fear that rates will go up. Rising interest rates, and fast growing population base! Buyers are coming out of foreclosure ready to buy again. Lack of renovated housing in higher price ranges. Inventory is low. New home builders need to start building ASAP.

Our Take:
Buyer traffic continued to exceed agents expectations, as our traffic index slipped to 64 from 69 but remains above a neutral 50. Agents noted more inventory coming to market to meet the healthy demand levels, while buyers continue to look to lock in deals before prices and rates increase too much. Home prices increased again, as our home price index was little changed at a strong 87 in June vs. 86 in May. Inventory increased in June, the first increase seen in our survey in two years. A further increase in inventory would likely slow the pace of price appreciation over the coming months.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Inventory is finally up a little, but no slowdown in bidding wars on the low end. We have been working the price range $150,000 to $350,000 the past 30 days. Homes are under contract in days with multiple offers. It is a combination of pent up demand and low interest rates. Rates are creeping up and all those that were on the fence are now in the mood! New home communities are popping up, but there is a lack of innovation and I'm seeing many buyers choose resale.

Our Take:
Traffic edged lower again in June, but levels still came in and met agents expectations, as our traffic index came in at 48 from 54 in May. Agents indicated that while some buyers were upset with the lack of inventory, others were motivated by higher prices and fears over rising interest rates. Home prices continued to move higher, as our home price index came in at 90 from 88 in May. Inventories continued to decline, though agents indicated more sellers are taking advantage of rising prices. Meanwhile, the time to sell fell further, a positive for future pricing.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


The shortage of inventory is frustrating buyers . There are fewer parties interested right now. Lower re-sale inventory is causing some buyers to shift into the new home market. Higher home prices and rising mortgage rates have spurred buyers into action. Inventories continue to fall while prices rise. Many buyers feel theyve missed the boat and want to get in the game before they also miss out on low interest rates.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers are watching the market and see that prices are rising while inventories are falling. They want to get in on the action. Buyers are still active, even entering our slow season. The lack of inventory and steadily rising prices are making multiple offers common. The movement in interest rates is driving buyers into the market. They dont want to miss out. Buyers are showing no quit this year. They are committed to securing a property.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic dipped slightly in June, as our traffic index came in at 71 from 78 in May, though levels still beat expectations. Agents indicated that the improving local economy continues to attract newcomers, while also making buyers increasingly confident in placing multiple offers on homes. Agents again pointed to higher prices in June, as our price index came in at 92 from 97 in May, above a reading of 50. Inventories and the time to sell both exhibited broad declines in June, suggesting that pricing will continue to improve in the coming months (declines are a positive for future pricing).

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


An improving economy, corporate relocations, and higher interest rates are helping to keep traffic in the area strong. All kinds of buyers are getting off the fence because of rising prices and interest rates. There is a shortage of homes for sale. Buyers recognize this and want to try and beat the crowd. Buyers see conditions improving and are eager to get their hands on some property. Multiple offers on homes are common. Relocation traffic has picked up a great deal.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic was higher in June, as our traffic index increased to 75 from 63 in May, pointing to better than expected traffic. Agents credited low inventories and affordability for the positive effect on traffic, as buyers were said to not want to miss out on deals. Home prices continue to move even higher in June, as our home price index increased to 100 from 97 in May. We expect prices to continue to increase, as our home listings and time to sell indexes pointed to declines in both metrics. These declines are positive indicators for future pricing.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Due to a shortage of listings, prices are going up. Buyers are worried they will soon get priced out of the market. Every month the story is the same. Inventory is low and buyers want to get in before it is too late. Buyers realize that interest rates are still low and prices are still affordable. Inventory is extremely tight though and this makes it tough for buyers to capitalize on opportunities. Nearly half of my buyers are all cash. It can still be tough to get buyers to the finish line because appraisals can still be an issue.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our buyer traffic index fell to 55 from 71 in May, with levels still meeting expectations. However, commentary remained very positive and we think the lower reading is a result of agents higher expectations. Agents highlighted continued demand from investors and traditional buyers, who were driven by lower inventories, higher prices and rates. Home prices continued to increase in June, as our home price index came in at 75 from 71 in May. Inventory was flat in June following months of declines, which suggests pressures in the market may soon begin to ease.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers want to take advantage of low interest rates now before both home prices and rates jump too high. Traffic is still healthy because buyers are anticipating an increase in interest rates. Large investors remain active in the marketplace. There is a lot of traffic, but not a lot of listings. Some buyers want in before rates move too high, while many sellers have their hands tied because their homes are underwater. Weve seen slightly better traffic because of the move in rates.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic fell slightly in June, coming in at 61 from 66 in May, though agents indicated levels still came in above expectations. The lack of inventory remains the headline story, as it draws some buyers to the market, while others prefer more of a selection. Investors still remain very active. Home prices continued to rise, as our home price index came in at 100 from 98 in May. Our price index has remained above 90 for six consecutive months. Inventories fell further in May, as did the time to sell. These are both positive indicators for future pricing trends.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Investment groups are still buying up the lower priced properties in bulk, helping to maintain the shortage of homes for sale for traditional buyers. Some buyers are starting to panic over higher rates. Many think 4.5% is too high how quickly we forget. Buyers are feeling more confident about the housing market. Add in higher prices and rates and buyers are faster to act. Some of my buyers are frustrated with the lack of inventory and swiftly rising prices.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our buyer traffic index came in at 63, down from 77 in May, but levels still exceeded agents expectations for this time of year. Agents indicated that while low inventories caused some buyers to shy away, others cited it as a source of motivation, especially as prices continued their upward trajectory. Prices moved higher in June, as our home price index came in at 96 from 97 in May (any reading above 50). Inventories and the time to sell both declined in June. We view these both as positive indicators for future pricing power.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Some buyers are taking a back seat until there is more inventory to choose from. There is very little inventory. Cash buyers are still dominant and there are multiple offers on my listings. However, low down payment buyers are being affected by higher rates. There are buyers who are tired of looking for overpriced homes. They are still interested, but only willing to look if they feel the price is justified. There is no inventory and prices are still rising. This is still motivating some of my buyers to enter the market.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Inventory is still very low, though prices are moving a bit too fast for some buyers to feel comfortable stepping in. Traffic is still high, but buyers have also become much more demanding and want value for their money. Sellers are also becoming unrealistic with their asking prices. My listings increased slightly, but the move still wasnt enough to keep pace with the increase in demand. That is still rising faster than inventory. People are more positive on the economy. Rising prices and rates also create the need to buy now.

Buyer traffic fell sharply in June, as our traffic index came in at 55 from 73 in May. However, levels still met agents expectations and commentary remained fairly positive. Agents noted that buyers were motivated by low inventories and higher rates/prices, while other agents highlighted that demand was real and buyers werent window shopping. Home prices continued to rise, as our home price index increased to 92 from 86 in May. Inventory was lower, but more sellers are capitalizing on higher prices.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Traffic eased a bit, but I think it is mostly because of the summer. Buyers want to lock in interest rates before it is too late. People are excited to look because they are worried about higher interest rates and with low inventories, they are also worried about higher home prices. Inventory is down and prices are going higher while interest rates are still at attractive levels. We are keeping busy with real buyers, not so many tire kickers.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic fell slightly in June, but levels still beat agents expectations. Our traffic index came in at 68 from 73 in May. Buyers were said to remain motivated by low inventories, and the effect that higher rates and prices could have on affordability. Agents pointed to rising prices, as our home price index came in at 82, unchanged from our reading in May. Inventories and the time to sell both declined in June. This is a positive indicator for future prices and suggests that urgency in the market remains high.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers are still waiting in line for listings, and when a good home does come to market it receives multiple offers. Inventory is still very low. Buyers feel the need to be careful with their bids. Inventory is so low that sellers are capitalizing and being aggressive with their asking prices. Buyers are worried about higher interest rates and they are making sure to look now before they feel rates are too high. Prices keep getting better and buyers dont want to miss out on the improving environment.

Buyer Traffic Index

60 50

Our Take:
Buyer traffic slipped in June, but still managed to meet agents expectations, as our traffic index came in at 47 from 60 in May (in-line with a neutral reading). Agents noted that traffic eased on seasonal factors and higher rates, though some were quick to note that higher rates continue to bring buyers off the fence. Home prices continued to improve in June, as our traffic index came in at 65 from 70 in May, above a reading of 50. Inventories were flat in June, as we think more sellers are beginning to take advantage of the improved pricing environment. Meanwhile, the time to sell edged lower.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Interest rates are rising and buyers are looking for bargains that just arent there anymore. Seasonal pressures combined with higher rates have caused the pace of the market to level off. Higher interest rates are causing some buyers to shy away from the market, but for others, the move higher is acting as a motivator. Buyers want to act quickly before rates rise even further. Buyers concerns that rates will move higher, along with the lack of inventory, is keeping some buyers in the market.

Our Take:
Traffic softened in June, continuing the volatility seen in our index in recent months, but levels remained essentially in-line with agents expectations. Our index fell to 45 from 62. Most agents noted a healthy level of buyer interest, but several mentioned that buyers have become discouraged by difficulty finding quality homes and getting beat out in bidding wars. Home prices increased again, as our price index improved to 95 from 91, with nearly all agents noting higher prices. Inventory and time to sell remained favorable, though the drop in our listings index suggests more supply may be on the way.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Steady buyer traffic levels, still difficulties for owner occupant buyers to make purchases due to investor competition and lack of available inventory. Home buyers are trying to get set before interest rates rise even more. Multiple offers; buyers are discouraged in the resale market due to still-low inventory. More cash buyers! Sold $360,000 and $333,000 and both buyers said real estate a better investment now. Do see a drop in low end buyers with loan requirements tougher.

Our Take:
Buyer traffic remained above agents expectations, increasing in June as our traffic index improved to 62 from 57 in May. Agents said some buyers were in a panic as home prices and rates have begun to increase and buyers fear they will face even higher levels soon if they dont buy now, though the strength in the market isnt reaching all areas yet. Home prices continued to trend higher, as our home price index increased to 69 in June from 66 in May. The continued decline in home listings and the length of time needed to sell will likely lead to higher prices this summer.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


It feels like buyers are panicking a bit with fear of rising rates and home prices. However, the market is also very regionalized as some areas are seeing a great amount of traffic and others are lagging. It still comes down to location, condition and price. Concern over rising interest rates. Buying panic General uptick in traffic as people look to relocate during school summer vacation.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
June traffic levels came in strong relative to agents expectations for this time of year, as our index increased to 65 from 56 in May (above a neutral 50). Agents noted a growing sense among buyers that they will be priced out if they dont act soon, especially as they continue to see a shortage of inventory. Broad increases in home prices continued in June, as our home price index increased to 96 from 92 in May. Inventory levels remain tight, and the time to sell continued to decline, which should continue to give sellers pricing power.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


The perception is that real estate is going up rapidly, which it is, and buyers need to purchase before prices exceed their purchasing power. Slight increase in buyer interest in suburban locations. Limited supply is creating a sense of urgency. The quality of buyers looking in 112 degree heat is favorable. Slightly higher interest rates, but still affordable. Low inventory continues to be an issue. Buyers want to take advantage of low interest rates and to take advantage of still-low home prices.

Buyers have a perception that interest rates may continue to rise. Were also seeing some more listings activity from sellers given rising prices. There continues to be a shortage of homes and bidding wars are becoming more and more typical. There is a lot of positive news about an improvement in housing activity, increasing prices and reduced inventory. Fewer listings makes buyers who are wanting to purchase now more eager to place higher and higher bids.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic improved in June, as our traffic index came in at 70 from 57 in May, exceeding agents expectations. Agents indicated that low rates, and the threat of them increasing, drove traffic higher in June. Low inventories acted as additional motivation buyers. Prices continued to increase in June, as our home price index improved to 90 from 79 in May. We expect prices to continue to improve, following favorable declines in listings and the time to sell, according to our indexes. Declines in these metrics are positives for pricing.

Interest rates are still low, and buyer confidence is improving. There is also an awareness that the market is heating up. Rates are at excellent levels right now, but buyers know this is not something that will last. Were still short on good inventory. Buyers know this and are hungry whatever good listings are out there. Traffic levels are somewhat expected, but the significantly lower inventory is doing wonders for pricing.

We would expect prices to continue to improve as the time to sell fell sharply in June. However, inventories did edge higher which could slow the pace of price appreciation.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


My traffic is up on concerns about rising interest rates and higher prices since the market is picking up some steam. Everyone wants to get the last good deal. Ive received a lot more listings in June and have also received a lot more phone calls. In a few words fear of higher rates is driving traffic. Buyers already see that prices are moving higher and feel that higher rates are a sign of an even stronger market. Buyers want to get in before these great interest rates are gone forever.

Our Take:
Buyer traffic remained above seasonal expectations in June, as our traffic index remained unchanged at 67 vs. May. Agents highlighted that the psychological level of a 4% mortgage rate has generated a reaction from buyers, driving sales activity and pushing prices higher. Prices posted broad gains again in June, as our price index remained at 100 for the second straight month. Inventory increased in the month of June, while it took less time to sell a home. At these price levels, sellers are encouraged to return, which may limit price appreciation going forward.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic eased slightly in June, as our index came in at 64 vs. 79 in May, but levels still exceeded agents expectations (any reading above 50). Agents indicated the strong oil/gas economy continues to bring buyers to the market, and the rise in rates has intensified buyer interest. Home prices continue to rise, as our price index was littlechanged at 82 in June vs. 81 in May. Inventory levels increased in June, as more sellers are starting to come back to the market; our home listings index dropped to 41 from 50. Meanwhile, the time to sell decreased.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Rising interest rates may be adding to a sense of urgency. Growing Eagle Ford employment. Large pent up demand being unlocked due to high rents and low interest rates. Prices are rising and buyers want to lock in today's prices. Employment growth from the oil boom might be leveling out. Higher interest rates are moving some buyers off the fence.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic levels improved in June and exceeded agents expectations, as our index increased to 76 from 61 in May. Agents widely cited that the move in interest rates intensified demand, increasing the number of bids houses receive and improving confidence that buyers can sell their current home. Home prices continued to move higher in June. Our price index came in at 90 vs. 92 in May. Inventory continued to show signs of adjusting, as our index was only modestly above a neutral level, indicating sellers are more inclined to enter the market at these price levels.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Multiple offers on nearly every house under $650,000 and condos under $300,000. Movement in rates may have moved buyers that were sitting on the fence to react and get serious about buying before rates get too high. Current availability is being driven by banks holding on to bank owned properties. Many current home prices are artificially inflated. Interest rates rising, limited inventory, motivated buyers! Buyers are more confident about selling their old home.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic slipped sequentially but remained at a healthy clip, as our index came in at 62 in June from 69 in May. Agents noted that the move in interest rates is generating hysteria among buyers, which combined with the low inventory levels is leading to significant price gains. Prices continued to move higher, as our home price index came in at 90 vs. 96 in May. Inventory levels increased in June, as more sellers started to come out in response to stronger demand and higher prices. This could start to moderate the pace of price appreciation.

Our Take:
Buyer traffic remained at similar, healthy levels in June vs. May and above agents expectations, as our index came in at 63 from 67 in May. Agents highlighted that pent-up demand continues to be a factor in the market, though lack of inventory is limiting sales activity. Prices increased further in June, as our home price index improved to 93 from 90 in May, which matches the highest levels ever recorded for Sarasota in our survey. Favorable trends in inventory levels and time to sell will likely continue to drive home prices higher in the coming months.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic increased in June and beat agents expectations, as our traffic index increased to 68 from 60 in May. Agents largely blamed constrained inventory for limiting sales activity, as rising prices intensified demand and frustrated those buyers who chose to wait. Our home price index reached a new high in June, rising to 97 from 92 in May (highest level since February 05). Favorable trends in both inventory levels and the time needed to sell a home should support further price appreciation over the coming months.

Little good inventory available, and when there is, it sells with multiple offers or as soon as it hits the market. Interest rate spike pushing reluctant buyers off the fence. Prices still regarded as affordable. New homes are only available on presale. Inventory at all time low. Military buyers are moving into the area. Buyers have unrealistic expectations. They sat on the fence too long and now are getting pushed out of the market.

Our Take:
Buyer traffic met agents expectations again in June, as our index came in unchanged at 50 for the third straight month. Agents noted that buyers believe prices have bottomed and this may be the right time to buy before interest rates climb any higher. Our home price index reached its highest level since January 10, rising to 83 in June from 50 in May. Inventory levels ticked higher in June, as higher prices led more sellers to list their homes. Higher inventory may slow the rate of price appreciation, but should help improve traffic.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic slipped sequentially but remained at a healthy pace in June, as our traffic index came in at 66 vs. 77 in May (still above agents expectations). Agents highlighted that the tight inventory has driven prices higher, causing buyers to act before favorable conditions erode. Our home price index reached its highest level since July 05, rising to 96 in June from 79 in May. Inventory levels ticked lower, while it also took less time to sell a home in June. Both are positive leading indicators for home prices.

Tucson, AZ Buying Frenzy as Home Prices and Mortgage Rates Rise

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic increased further in June, continuing to exceed agents expectations. The index reading improved to 71 in June from 63 in May. Agents credited rising home prices and rates along with low supply for creating increased buyer urgency as they fear being left behind. Home prices continue to increase, as our price index came in at 83 for June (from 69 in May). Prices will likely continue to improve, as agents pointed to a significant reduction in inventories and time needed to sell in June. We view these as positive indicators for future pricing.

Buyers are starting to fear being left behind, and retirees now feel more secure in buying. The buying frenzy has caught fire, creating more buyer urgency. Buyers feel more optimistic.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic continued to improve in June, as our traffic index increased to 75 from 63 in May. Agents noted that the increase in interest rates and fear of a potential move higher have created a sense of urgency among buyers, with the limited supply of listings intensifying concerns. Home prices continued to trend higher, as our home price index came in at 83 in June from 88 in May, still well above a neutral 50. The shorter time to sell and falling inventory will likely continue to drive home prices higher in the coming months.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


More buyers are coming off of the sideline because of higher home prices and fears of even higher interest rates. Buyers are increasingly more optimistic that now is the right time buy. Inventory is really low which is intensifying buyer urgency. Interest rates are threatening to go even higher.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic fell in June, although it remained in-line with agents expectations. Our buyer traffic index came in at 52 in June from 62 in May. Agents noted a sense of urgency among buyers as interest rates increased and there are fears of further increases, but it is still difficult for many to find homes given the constrained inventory levels.

<50 - Lower than Prior Month; =50 - Flat vs Prior Month; >50 - Higher than Prior Month

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers have begun to panic over the Fed statement and an actual increase in interest rates. Inventory is still really low, driving better traffic for those homes for sale. Supply has remained low as the prices have increased but not to the point where many owners could break even by selling. Buyers are still trying to find homes as the available inventory shrinks. The increase in rates has motivated buyers as they fear they may go higher.

Wilmington, NC Low Inventories Drive Traffic, but Buyers Waiting Patiently for Right Opportunities

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic improved and exceeded agents expectations in June, as our traffic index came in at 63 from 50 in May. Agents indicated that low inventories have worked to spark additional traffic, though buyers were also said to exhibit more patience given the lack of available listings. Agents suggested that prices continued to improve, as our home price index increased to 88 from 60 in May. Inventories fell in June, however the time to sell increased. The lower inventories are a positive for pricing, though the longer time to sell suggests the pace of appreciation could slow.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Were short on inventory and this has worked to create some urgency for buyers. They want to make sure they buy something before it is too late. However, others are being increasingly patient because they want to find the right property, not just any property. Traffic has slowed down, but it might not be anything outside of typical seasonal moves. Buyers are taking a bit more time to make their decisions.

Agent Recom m endations


Agents recom m end Toll, D.R. Horton and Pulte. Toll Brothers received the highest percentage of recommendations by agents across the markets we survey. 30% of agents (net of positive responses less negative responses) responding said they would recommend Toll, while 24% said they would recommend D.R. Horton, and 21% said they would recommend Pulte. We believe this is important since 35-40% of new home sales involve an agent. This is a positive for those companies, in addition to others below that received strong recommendations.

Survey Methodology
We survey real estate agents, as we believe agents provide an accurate assessment of local housing market trends in both the new and existing home markets. We view an understanding of the existing home market as crucial to homebuilders as it represents over 90% of total sales, and trends in the existing home market often dictate trends in the new home market.
Each month, we survey agents about trends in buyer traffic levels, home prices, incentives, inventory levels, and the length of time needed to sell a home. In June, we received responses from 725 real estate agents across the country. We review responses and calculate an index for each of the questions with levels above 50 indicating positive trends, levels below 50 indicating worsening trends, and a level of 50 indicating a neutral trend. 1) Are traffic levels in-line with, above, or below your expectations for this tim e of year? (Because of seasonality to traffic trends generally more traffic in Spring and less in Fall/Winter we ask about traffic relative to the expectations for this time of year rather than how traffic compared to the prior month). A traffic index above 50 means that traffic was above the expectations of agents, a traffic index of 50 means that traffic was in-line with expectations, and a traffic index below 50 means that traffic was below expectations. 2) Have prices rem ained the sam e, increased, or decreased over the past 30 days? A price index above 50 indicates that prices increased over the past 30 days, a price index of 50 indicates that prices were flat, and a price index below 50 indicates that prices decreased. 3) Have incentives rem ained the sam e, increased, or decreased over the past 30 days? An incentive index above 50 indicates that incentives decreased over the past 30 days, an incentive index of 50 indicates that incentives were unchanged, and an incentive index below 50 indicates that incentives increased. 4) Do you see the sam e, m ore, or fewer, listings as com pared with 30 days ago? An inventory (listings) index above 50 indicates that the inventory of homes for sale decreased over the past 30 days, an inventory index of 50 indicates that inventories were unchanged, and an inventory index below 50 indicates that inventories increased. 5) Does it take the sam e, m ore, or less tim e to sell a house? A time to sell index above 50 indicates that the time needed to sell a home decreased over the past 30 days, a time to sell index of 50 indicates that the time needed to sell a home was unchanged, and a time to sell index below 50 indicates that the time needed to sell a home increased.

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
