HOUSING STARTS IN U.S. SURGE TO SECOND-HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE 2007

Bloomberg 7/17/2015 New-home construction in the U.S. climbed in June to the second-highest level since November 2007 as builders stepped up work on apartment projects. Housing starts rose 9.8 percent to a 1.17 million annualized rate from a revised 1.07 million in May that was stronger than previously estimated, figures from the Commerce Department showed Friday in Washington. The median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg was a 1.11 million rate. Ground-breaking on multifamily dwellings jumped 29.4 percent. Building permits for single and multifamily properties, a gauge of future construction, climbed to an almost eight-year high, the report showed. Steady job gains, low mortgage rates and a gradual easing of lending standards are propelling sales, indicating housing will become a bigger source of strength for the economy.

Redfin 7/16/2015 U.S. Home sales increased 11.4 percent in June compared to the same time last year, leaving buyers with the lowest supply of homes for sale on record. At the current pace of demand, there are only 3.5 months of home inventory left. Six months of inventory is considered a balanced market. June was also the fastest market we’ve ever seen, with median days on market falling to 26, breaking the record of 27 days set in June of 2013. Despite high buyer demand and low inventory, price growth is still moderate at 5.1 percent year over year in June. Read the full article here.

PICK-UP PROJECTED IN HOME IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITY MOVING INTO 2016

Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University 7/16/2015 The extended easing of gains in residential improvement spending is expected to change course by early next year, according to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) released today by the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. The LIRA projects annual spending growth for home improvements will accelerate to 4.0% by the first quarter of 2016. “A major driver of the anticipated growth in remodeling spending is the recent pick up in home sales activity,” says Chris Herbert, Managing Director of the Joint Center. “Recent homebuyers typically spend about a third more on home improvements than non-movers…” Read the full article here.

TD BANK: FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS ON THE UPSWING IN FLORIDA AND NATIONWIDE

South Florida Business Journal 7/16/2015 Debt and stagnant wages cut the number of first-time homebuyers during the recession, but a new survey from TD Bank indicates that’s changing. The survey shows nearly one in five potential first-time homebuyers are actively looking to buy. About 62 percent of potential first-time buyers expect to purchase a home within the next two years; among millennials, ages 18-to-34 years old, that number rises to 67 percent. TD Bank polled more than 1,000 Americans looking to buy their first home within the next five years. Results in Florida mirror those nationwide, said Brian Betzler, Florida mortgage sales manager. First-time homebuyers play a critical role in the housing market because they allow existing homebuyers to sell their homes and trade up, triggering a cascade of home sales…”.
