Top 3 reasons why people were moving to the South last year: NAR

While the 30-year fixed mortgage rates tick closer to 7% in November, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Migration Trends report found 46% of US homebuyers to have migrated to the South last year. "That's really where they're finding more affordability opportunities, but also some of the strongest job markets. So they're really poised for long-term growth, as well," NAR Director of Business & Consumer Research Matt Christopherson tells Brad Smith on Wealth. Christopherson elaborates further on the report tracking 2023 patterns, which saw homebuyers placing a higher priority on living closer to family and friends: "People are really looking for ways to be able to get into this market and compete. They're also looking for lower and more favorable tax rates, especially to combat insurance costs that are really rising in the housing space. And a lot of that occurs in the South."

CRE is more than just office spaces: Economist

CBRE Global chief economist and global head of research Richard Barkham shares insights on trends in the commercial real estate sector as companies increasingly push for employees to return to offices and reduce remote work arrangements. Barkham emphasizes that commercial real estate encompasses much more than just office spaces, including industrial facilities, retail locations, and residential apartments. "We've had a big value drop in commercial real estate and a rise in vacancies, particularly in the office sector, but I think as we move into 2025 with economic growth being fairly robust, I think we're at the start of a new real estate cycle," Barkham states. Discussing the current environment, he highlights that the rise of artificial intelligence will benefit the sector in the coming year, particularly through increased demand for data center facilities, noting that this segment is "on fire at the moment." Barkham also points to strong apartment rental demand despite the current market oversupply and mentions that retail is experiencing growth driven by "good consumer growth." However, when addressing the office sector, he acknowledges that "that's where the big problems in real estate have been," as vacancy rates continue to climb. Nevertheless, Barkham maintains a bullish outlook on this segment, stating that "even then the emerging trend is good" regarding office leasing activity.

Housing market growth in 2025 hinges on rates: Analyst

US existing home sales increased 3.4% year-over-year in October, reaching 3.96 million units. HousingWire Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami provides insights into the current housing market dynamics on Wealth! "Let's be realistic, last year at this time, mortgage rates ran up to 8%, [and] sales fell even more, so we have a very low bar right now to show year-over-year growth," Mohtashami explains. However, he adds "the positive story for housing in 2024 [is] inventory was able to grow, we have more choices for everybody. And if mortgage rates just get down to 6%, we can grow sales." Looking ahead to 2025, Mohtashami emphasizes that housing market expansion hinges on lower interest rates. Although, he notes that rates don't need to return to the historically low 3 to 5% range to stimulate sales activity. Freddie Mac reported mortgage reports to have climbed for their eighth consecutive week. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Wealth here.

US homebuyers are coming off sidelines after 2024 election, Fed cuts

Existing home sales rose by 3.4% in October, marking the first year-over-year gain since 2021 according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). To talk more about homebuying trends as mortgage rates remain elevated, Redfin head of economic research Chen Zhao and Kinloch Partners CEO Bruce McNeilage join Catalysts. Zhao explains how US homebuyers are now coming off the sidelines coming off the 2024 election and the Federal Reserve providing direction on its interest rate policy: "The number of people who are contacting Redfin agents for tours is up about 20% year over year right now, and it's at the highest level that it's been at since August of 2023." McNeilage goes on to comment on the interplay between rates on the housing market and the bond market (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX). He explains where homebuyers are running into key affordability issues: "The average house in America in the top 50 cities is about $414,000. So it's very tough to afford that when interest rates are going up. Now, if interest rates come down, you think you might be able to afford that $414,000. But the builders raised the price. And last year, the builders have raised the price on average 3%. You also have to look at taxes and insurance... [which] are not going down."

Mortgage rates still 'underlying' home affordability problems

According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), homebuilder confidence stands at a reading of 46 in November, up 3 points from October's level. Realtor.com chief economist Danielle Hale joins Wealth to discuss the state of the housing market. Hale highlights a significant housing shortage, noting that the US housing market has been 2.5 million to 7 million homes short over the last decade. "We need to do a lot more building," she states. She anticipates potential relief within current building challenges like labor shortages, land constraints, and regulatory hurdles when the incoming Trump administration takes office. Regarding home affordability, Hale points out that builders are implementing strategies such as mortgage rate buydowns and various incentives to attract buyers. However, she names high mortgage rates as the "underlying" issue impacting housing affordability. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Wealth here.

How homebuilders are viewing inflation, tariff possibilities

The October CPI (Consumer Price Index) print saw headline and core inflation rising in line with economist expectations. While materials costs and housing prices tick higher, what does this mean for homebuilders? The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) CEO Bill Darcy joins Seana Smith and Madison Mills on Catalysts to talk about the homebuilder sector's reaction to the current inflationary environment. "Our members are telling us 8% growth [in consumer spending] in 2025, compared to 1% only in 2024. So a lot of optimism... The home is really still the place where people focus their monies despite the inflation and uncertainties. It's really where they want to spend their money," Darcy explains. "And while new home construction has a big factor and... I think when rates get around 5%, you see more activity around new home construction and things like that." Home improvement retailer Home Depot (HD) beat its third quarter earnings estimates, seeing sales rise 6.6% annually to $40.2 billion.
