A Look Into the Markets

3 Takeaways From the 2015 MBA Housing Demand Report

This past week, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reported that their Sentiment Index for June rose sharply to 72, thereby lifting the index to exactly where it was in March, prior to COVID-19.

Within the report there were sharp increases in the following three components:

  1. Sales conditions
  2. Sales expectations
  3. Buyer traffic

Builders in the Northeast and Midwest are seeing a surge in demand after being sidelined from COVID-19.

One of the interesting parts of the report came from Robert Dietz, NAHB’s chief economist, who shared this, “Nonetheless, the important story of the changing geography of housing demand is benefiting new construction. New home demand is improving in lower density markets, including small metro areas, rural markets, and large metro exurbs, as people seek out larger homes and anticipate more flexibility for telework in the years ahead. Flight to the suburbs is real.”

On top of this great housing story, Freddie Mac reported that the average 30-year mortgage hit an all-time low of 2.98%, making home buyers feel very good.

Bottom line: Housing will continue to shine for the foreseeable future as low rates, household formation, migration to suburbs, and flexibility to work remotely provide a tailwind.

Mortgage Mom Radio airs weekly focusing on topics that will educate our listeners around mortgage lending. Today we revisited 2019’s FHA and VA loan workshop, stopping it along the way to cover what has changed since just last year.

The Future of Homeownership

In a recent survey involving more than 100 economists, Zillow found that housing experts share the opinion that Generation Z is likely to become homeowners at a higher rate than millennials. Millennials are currently in the prime years for purchasing a first home, and yet homeownership among the group has fallen. Gen Z is currently 23 and younger, but in 15 years when they reach the age millennials are now, 45% of the economists polled believe over 60% of them will be homeowners.

One of the reasons for the increase in homeownership is that the inventory crisis that makes it challenging for current buyers to afford a home is expected to resolve itself. In addition, economists believe that Gen Zers will be more likely to live in affordable areas versus the millennial generation who are drawn to expensive urban neighborhoods.

Another contributing factor is that Gen Z is expected to enter the job market during an upswing in the economic cycle, although time will tell how the current pandemic will impact the economy long term. Millennials were coming out of college and entering the workforce right as the economy went into recession, creating income-related hurdles and career challenges.

A recent study of Gen Z found that the majority of the Gen Z members polled prefer to move to diverse communities and want features like backyards with decks or patios for outdoor entertaining, open floor plans, garages, and hardwood flooring. Though members of this generation are digital natives, only 17% of respondents indicated that smart-home technology was an important feature for them. Forty-six percent, nearly half of all respondents, said they want a single-family home, while only 7% want a townhome, 5% want a multi-family unit, and 5% want a condo.

Despite being better connected than previous generations, Gen Z is often referred to as the loneliest generation. It comes as no surprise then that one of their top priorities for a home is having entertaining spaces both inside and outside the home. They want large outdoor spaces for spending time with friends and family as well as open floor plans to optimize the space in their homes.
