U.S. existing home sales, which make up most of the housing market, fell 3.4% in April from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.28 million, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. April sales fell 23.2% from a year earlier.


How big was the jump 2 years ago though? It was more than 25%.

Yes. 25.2%.

ETA: still does not eliminate the fact that this will or has caused a lot of lost equity for home purchases during the price increase.

The situation is crazy enough where you don't need to make up numbers you've never looked at

If they drop much those with unpaid off mortgages will see equity go down and an introduction to PMI.

No one is selling a house with a 3% mortgage rate right now. Even if your value is up, looking at 6% and higher interest rates keeps you where you are locked in at a historic low interest rate.

true, but the majority of people who bought in 2020 aren't likely to already be moving.

This is something i am watching for sure cause i wish i bought in December 19 instead of waiting for "the right house". Still ahead of most of the craziness, thankfully

Just bought a house that was sold for 345k in 2021 for 460k now. Luckily dude put a ton of work into the house (new roof, new HVAC, countertops, removed some walls, epoxied the garage, ect.) So we are still getting a good price. Always the chance of a crash, but this isn't a real estate for money it's a place to live.

Exactly what the fed wanted.

But still overpriced in many markets as supply remains tight. Who wants to move and trade a 3% rate for 6%?

It’s insane in West Texas

Bought our house for 290k six years ago when oil was low.
Sold it for 20k less than our asking price.
40k profit.

Mine has dropped aboot 8.5% since the peak. I now only get 3-4 calls wanting to buy it. At peak I was getting called 3-5 times per day.
