November 30, 2018
-- It's no secret that home sales have lacked
traction for a good number of months now. Even with a modest 1.4% rise in
existing home sales in October, the truth is that they still remain more than 5%
below the same period last year. This week, the National Association of Realtors
noted that their Pending Home Sales Index for October fell by 2.6%, making it
now 10 consecutive months where pending sales were lower when compared to
year-ago readings. The PSHI is based on signed contract to buy; home purchase
transaction commonly take 45-60 days to complete, and so are a harbinger for at
least a part the expected trend for existing home sales for November and
December. Those sales figures won't come for about 4 and 8 weeks, respectively.
Although it remains at a robust level, we learned last week that enthusiasm
among homebuilders had dropped sharply in November amid a lackluster and
challenging construction climate. This week we learned the reason for the
souring demeanor: Fewer folks are buying the homes they are building.
Sales of new homes slumped by 8.9% in October, continuing a downtrend that began
after an expansion peak for sales of 712,000 (annualized) units last November. A
year on, and the present rate of sale has slid all the way to 544,000 annual
units, some 12% below the same period last year. There was a bit of a bright
spot in an upward revision for September sales (from 552K to 597K) but very
little to be excited about in the current climate. With the slump in sales,
supplies of unsold homes swelled to 7.4 months, a level rather above optimal
stockpiles of perhaps 6 months, and one that will likely put a damper on new
construction trends for a while. The 336,000 built-and-ready to sell units
available is the highest number of the economic expansion to date.
Moving the needle higher for new home sales may be difficult, at least for a
time. Of late, somewhat more existing home inventory has become available and so
competes against more expensive new stock; as well, it is likely difficult to
build homes in the markets that most need additional new inventory as tracts of
open land are scarce. Other headwinds such as firming mortgage rates don't help
either, and with the homebuying season giving way to the holiday season, it may
be spring before we see much by way of improvement.
With Black Friday behind us and the normally-quiet-for-housing holiday season kicking in, it doesn't seem likely that we'll see home sales get much of a lift anytime soon. Mortgage rates have backed off from recent peak levels by about an eighth of a percentage point which may help a bit, and with the influential 10-year Treasury holding a yield of just about 3% late Friday and other indicators also softening, we think there's a good chance of a 3-4 basis point decline in the average 30-year FRM reported by Freddie Mac come next Thursday, even with the first-week-of-the-month slew of top-tier economic data hitting the markets.
