California Housing Market: Prices, Trends, Forecast 2022-2023
While consumers and builders remained downbeat about the 2023 economic outlook, news on strong holiday spending and lower interest rates offered a glimpse of hope that the housing market may have found its footing and will begin to stabilize soon. With inflation remaining high but showing some signs of easing, the Federal Reserve is expected to raise rates less aggressively in the coming months, which should benefit both the economy and the market.
Mortgage Rates Dropped This Week
The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage reported by Mortgage News Daily fell 34 basis points from 6.63% to 6.29% between November 30 and December 1. Stronger than expected November job growth released last Friday, however, dampened the recent rate improvement slightly. The Fed will have to think twice before making their next rate hike decision in mid-December.
Is the California Housing Market Slowing Down?
The Southern California housing market has slowed significantly in recent months, owing to rising mortgage rates, which have priced many would-be buyers out of the market.
