Some sellers hitting a tipping point on their asking price

The share of home sellers dropping their asking prices has risen to a six-month high. More home buyers may be starting to feel priced out by the rapid rise in mortgage rates, which may be making sellers have to adjust slightly. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.27% last week, up from 2.96% just one year ago, Freddie Mac reports.

Fewer buyers searching for a home

In Los Angeles County, the median price increased last month to $781,050, up from $773,490 in February and $689,440 a year ago — a year-to- year increase of 13.3%.

While sales remained solid, there are signs that imply a market slowdown could be forth coming in the second half of 2022. A quarterly report released by National Association of Home Builders suggests that fewer buyers were trying to find a home to buy in the first quarter of this year. The share of prospective buyers who were actively searching declined to 46% in Q122, back to pre-pandemic levels after reaching a recent peak of 61% in Q221.

For those who had not been successful in finding a home, the share who plan to give up their home search until next year or later rose for the third straight quarter to 25% in Q122, after bottoming out at 20% in Q221.

Higher mortgage rates and double-digit growth in home prices are slowing down the housing demand momentum and the effect may become evident very soon.
