July 29, 2022
-- Amid accumulating signs that the economy has both slowed and is slowing,
the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate by another three-quarters of a
percentage point, placing the key monetary policy rate in a range of 2.25% to
2.5%, the highest it has been since July 30, 2019.
The next increase in the federal funds rate -- currently expected to be a
half-point move in September -- will lift the federal funds rate to more than a
14-year high. The Fed is of course trying combat inflation that currently is
running at about a 40-year high, and expects to continue to tighten policy until
it sees clear signs that inflation is likely to sustainably return to the Fed's
speed limit of 2% core PCE.
Settling back and then some is the housing market, as high prices and high
mortgage rates continue to push folks to the sidelines to await more favorable
conditions. The latest evidence of this came in the report covering sales of
newly-built homes, where a 8.1% decline in June to a 590,000 annual rate of
sales was seen. This came on top of a downwardly-revised May figure, where
54,000 homes previously counted were subtracted, leaving May's tally at 642,000.
The 590,000 annual pace for June was barely above the pandemic-shutdown low of
582K, and in reality is more akin to three-and-a-half-year-ago levels than not.
Compared to as recently as December, the annual run rate for sales of new homes
is down by 29%.
With the ongoing slump in sales, inventories of homes built and ready to be sold
continue to balloon; the 457,000 units available in June is the highest level of
inventory since May 2008 and represent a 9.1-month supply at the present rate of
sale. For the month, the median price of a new home sold in June was $402,400,
down 9.5% from May's $444,500. Perhaps this is a case of more supply than demand
shifting some power towards homebuyers who could negotiate lower prices, or
perhaps builders simply trimmed asking prices to help attract buyers and move
stock. It may also be that challenging affordability conditions saw buyers
choosing less costly models with fewer amenities, too.
Existing home sales have been softening for months, and indications are that
this may intensify a bit more yet. The National Association of Realtors Pending
Home Sales Index for June slumped hard, posting an 8.6% decline compared to May.
This measure of contracts signed portends sales 30-60 days down the road and so
will be reflected in July and August sales figures. As well, not all executed
sales contracts make it all the way to the closing table, so the decline in
sales forecast here may ultimately be even more pronounced than what is
suggested by the June PHSI. Leaving out the hard-stop months of the pandemic, by
our reckoning the June PHSI was the lowest reading since September 2011.
Mortgage applications continue to signal flagging activity, too. The Mortgage
Bankers Association reported another 1.2% decline in overall applications for
mortgage credit in the week ending 22, and requests for mortgage funds remain at
about a 22-year low. Purchase-money mortgage applications slipped 0.8%, a fourth
consecutive decline, while those for refinancing dropped another 3.7%. This
week's drop in mortgage rates and the potential for them to hold or decline
somewhat more from current levels may see a touch more refinance activity at
best, but little more than that.
While acknowledging that the fair bit of data due out next week may make markets
a bit restive, we think that the average offered rate for a conforming 30-year
fixed-rate as reported by Freddie Mac is likely to decline again, possibly by
another 10-12 basis points or so.
