We make changes to the Title of Property after the Close of Escrow for Clients of Escrow Officers, Realtors & Lenders.
Let's conclude our Fall 2024 Real Estate sales forecast for the Southwest USA. In Part I, we examined Home Prices and Sales Trends, and in Part II, we explored Demand and Market Dynamics. Now, let's wrap up with an overview of how economic and policy influences might shape the market in the coming months. (Fall kicked off on September 22nd and ends on December 21st.)
Economic and Policy Influences:
The economic outlook for fall 2024 remains complex, as factors like inflation, interest rates, and potential global disruptions continue to affect the Real Estate landscape. However, local governments in the Southwest are taking steps to mitigate affordability concerns, especially in rapidly growing regions like Arizona, Nevada, and Texas (Realtor.com, 2024). Many local initiatives focus on reducing regulatory barriers to speed up the development of affordable housing, particularly in suburban and secondary markets where demand remains high.
At the federal level, policy discussions around housing affordability are intensifying. The upcoming 2024 elections are expected to play a significant role in shaping future housing policies. There has been growing support for national initiatives that could subsidize down payments for first-time homebuyers, especially those from under-represented communities. Other proposed measures include promoting more inclusive zoning policies that would increase the availability of affordable housing units in high-demand areas (Redfin, 2024).
Mortgage rates, while still elevated compared to historical norms, are showing signs of stabilization. Many experts predict that rates could slowly decrease as the Federal Reserve adjusts its monetary policy, which would provide some relief to buyers who have been priced out of the market in previous years (Freddie Mac, 2024). This potential decrease in rates, combined with a modest rise in housing inventory, may help ease the affordability crisis that has gripped the Southwest Real Estate market in recent years.
Conclusion
While challenges like housing affordability and economic uncertainty remain, the Southwest Real Estate market in fall 2024 is positioned for cautious optimism. Local policy efforts, combined with potential federal interventions, could create a more balanced market environment. As mortgage rates stabilize and inventory levels increase, prospective homebuyers may find more opportunities in this evolving landscape.
