The housing market has slowed abruptly this year due to a rapid increase in mortgage rates, which has raised borrowing costs for home buyers and pushed many prospective buyers out of the market. As inflation bites the working-class hard, U.S. household savings rates continue dropping fast.
The Daily Mail review of a similar analysis found that:
- Northern California leads the way, with San Jose experiencing a drop of 10.8 percent since September.
- San Francisco follows at 8.5 percent, followed by Seattle, Portland, and Portland, with declines of 5.2%, 4.8%, and 4.4 percent, respectively.
- Denver, San Diego, and Phoenix followed in fourth and fifth place.
What we are seeing is a confluence of events brought about by the outcomes of larger Biden administration policy
- Massive increases in energy costs are the result of energy policy; those increases are fueling inflation from the supply side on food, fuel, electricity, home heating etc.
- Simultaneously, Fed monetary policy is driving consumer demand down
- Home sales have dropped quickly, and home inventories are now climbing
