By May, said <em>Redfin.com<\/em>, home buying competition was \u201cplateauing.\u201d And by June, according to data from <em>Realtor.com<\/em>\u00ae, there were sure signs of a market returning to Earth. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About a third of sellers with Austin homes listed on <em>Realtor.com\u00ae<\/em> websites cut back their asking prices. A pattern was forming. Similar cuts showed up in Reno and Boise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s going on? With some homebuyers balking at rising mortgage rates, houses aren\u2019t moving quite so fast these days. And sellers can\u2019t call all the shots any more. Hopeful buyers should find this interesting, so let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opportunities in Late 2022? The Signs Are There.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021 and at the start of 2022, many home sellers could take their pick from flocks of bidders. But that\u2019s not the case now. By late May, Redfin reported, 19 percent of the home sellers out there had lowered their prices. It was the most substantial price-lowering activity since before the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lo and behold, the pattern continued. Here are six cities where home prices came down in June, according to <em>Realtor.com<\/em>\u00ae:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li><strong>Evansville, Indiana<\/strong> has to get the first mention. Its median listing price is truly reasonable, at $246,000. And sellers have been open to price reductions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Reno, Nevada<\/strong> is showing clear signs of a cooldown. Although the median price is still well over $600K, it\u2019s noteworthy that one in three sellers are cutting their asking prices.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In <strong>Austin, Texas<\/strong> (where the median list price is a whopping $620K), the level of summer price cutting also stands at about a third. &nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>And <strong>Phoenix, Arizona<\/strong> (median listing price according to <em>Realtor.com<\/em>\u00ae: $548K) is seeing for-sale signs popping up \u2014 and staying up for a while. Some sellers have cut their prices.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Then there\u2019s <strong>Anchorage, Alaska<\/strong> (median listing: $436K). More than a fourth of Anchorage sellers, <em>Realtor.com<\/em> reports, cut their asking prices in June.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Boise, Idaho<\/strong> was another outrageously hot market until just recently. There, too, buyers are finding opportunities to negotiate.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Realtor.com<\/em> also points to Colorado Springs, Ogden, Utah, Sacramento, California, and Medford, Oregon. While they all continue to have high list prices, sellers are letting buyers\u2019 agents negotiate. And some buyers are successfully getting price reductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Waiving Contingencies? You Might Not Have To.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the Dallas \u2013 Fort Worth metro area. It\u2019s one of the places where agents are reporting a slowdown in the seller\u2019s market. Several months ago, buyers\u2019 agents were preparing their clients to waive contingencies, as Dallas homes were being snapped up the day they were listed for sale. Some went for well above the sellers\u2019 asking prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now, buyers are having concerns about the economy. They are dealing with high fuel and food prices. They don\u2019t have the money or the stomach to get into bidding wars. They just aren\u2019t prepared to pay $20K over listing price. So between May and June 2022, new home sales have cooled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With enough buyers calling a halt to the frenzy, sellers are losing their advantages. Buyers do not need to make all-cash offers. They can come in with low-down-payment FHA loans, and they can succeed. And just like in the old days, buyers are insisting on thorough inspections. They want to negotiate for repairs. They want sellers to contribute to closing costs. Finally, Dallas-area agents are winning concessions for buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u261b<\/em><\/strong><strong><em> Buy your house on your terms. Read about <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/succeeding-with-contingent-offers-in-a-sellers-market\/\"><strong><em>Succeeding With Contingent Offers<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>,&nbsp;on Deeds.com.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s the backdrop to all of this? Housing is a core element of the country\u2019s financial health. When the real estate market slows, so does the entire economy \u2014 and vice versa. Every buyer needs to approach this market with eyes wide open. So let\u2019s quickly look at the factors for the apparent slowdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Macro Factors: They\u2019re Why So Many Buyers Backed Off.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/macro-factors.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2393\" width=\"362\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/macro-factors.jpg 483w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/macro-factors-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Demand is easing measurably. In May 2022, Google searches around home buying dropped off. Mortgage applications were down 16% from the prior year, reported Redfin. By June, said <em>Realtor.com<\/em>\u00ae, there was a 5 percent drop in existing home sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this all mean? Maybe a window of opportunity for some buyers this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, what happened? Why did so many hopeful buyers step away from the market?&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>An affordability problem.<\/strong> Real estate got to the point at which homes were selling for too much over what buyers and their appraisers considered market value. People don\u2019t want to overpay, and they don\u2019t want to take a strong risk of buying at what might be the very peak of a housing boom.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Higher mortgage rates.<\/strong> OK, in reality, it\u2019s not as though people should steer clear of the real estate market because of high mortgage rates. Interest rates were once well over 15%, so 5-6% is not really that high. The problem is<em> rising<\/em> rates, when <em>combined<\/em> with steep listing prices across the country. Surely, the fact that interest rates are going up faster than any time in recent memory is daunting especially to first-time buyers. But it\u2019s important to take the long view.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A supply standstill.<\/strong> International supply chain clogs are holding up housing availability. Building materials and a lack of construction workers are adding sharply to the price of building and renovation. Building companies say they would need more than half a million skilled construction workers to handle all the demand facing the industry today. The building standstill leads back to the first issue: not enough houses being made \u2014 and made affordable.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u261b <\/em><strong><em>Read more on Deeds.com about\u2026 <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/inflation-and-the-rising-cost-of-building-a-house\/\"><strong><em>Inflation and the Rising Cost of Building a House<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leadership of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has rung alarm bells about a recession which could persist for some time, given this perfect storm of challenges. The newest report from the NAHB suggests that builders are also stepping back from the real estate market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least a buyer knows, then, that houses will continue to be scarce. That scarcity can make many properties valuable well into the future. And given that the market is cooling off in so many key areas, it just might be time for sidelined but hopeful buyers to jump in again. Late 2022 could have opportunities for watchful buyers. As always, we wish you the best of success out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supporting References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Tim Ellis for <em>Redfin.com: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/housing-market-update-price-drops-surge-to-19pct\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Housing Market Update: Nearly 1 in 5 Sellers is Dropping Their Price, the Highest Rate Since October 2019<\/a> (May 26, 2022; updated Jun. 3, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Aarthi Swaminathan, via <em>Morningstar.com \/<\/em> <em>Dow Jones Newswires<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstar.com\/news\/marketwatch\/20220731198\/home-prices-are-being-slashed-in-these-10-cities-as-real-estate-market-cools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Home Prices Are Being Slashed in These 10 Cities as Real Estate Market Cools<\/a> (updated Jul. 31, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Vishesh Raisinghani for MoneyWise at <em>Yahoo!Finance<\/em>: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/heading-housing-recession-nahb-ceo-120000609.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We\u2019re Heading Into a Housing Recession\u201d: Here\u2019s What the NAHB CEO Sees in Real Estate Right Now \u2014 And Why It Spells Big Trouble for the Economy<\/a> (Jul. 28, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Teresa Woodard for <em>ABC Channel 8<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfaa.com\/article\/news\/local\/are-we-trending-toward-buyers-market-in-dfw-real-estate\/287-c155bf30-cac0-437b-8c3b-c590a6a92629\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cooling in North Texas \u2014 And Just Like That, Buyers No Longer Have to Offer $20,000 Over List to Snag a Home in North Texas<\/a> (Jul. 27, 2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">And as linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Photo credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/red-balloons-3905873\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Polina Tankilevitch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/calculator-app-on-smartphone-8970686\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Olya Kubruseva<\/a>, via Pexels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is the Seller\u2019s Market Winding Down?
