Here are some quotes from this month’s report:

  • Recession Fears Surge Among CEOs Survey Suggests. Three-quarters of global CEOs say we are in a recession or will be in the next 12-18 months, according to a new survey.
  • Active inventory continued to grow, rising 21% above one year ago. . . . In other words, we’re starting to add more options, but the market needs even more before home shoppers have a selection that’s roughly equivalent to the pre-pandemic housing market.
  • The root issue of what drives house prices almost always is supply and demand. . . . now interest rates affect that. When interest rates go up, guess what, fewer buyers. The demand goes down thus prices are going to soften or not be as cray-cray as they have been. And that’s what we’re seeing right now.
  • We should start to see less competition, fewer bidding wars and, therefore, less upward price pressure. In fact, a simple analysis shows that a one-month increase in the months’ supply results in a 3% decline in annualized house price growth. And our preliminary house price index is already showing moderation in house prices in April.
