Weekly Market Activity Report For Week Ending June 22, 2019

Persistently low mortgage rates and slower price increases have combined with economic growth, low unemployment, wage improvement and consumer confidence to keep home buyers in the market, despite insufficient supply. Builders have not made enough new homes for several years, and, thus, national housing inventory is extremely tight. The vacancy rate for owner-occupied homes in 2018 was the lowest since 1995. If the economy begins to slow, this situation is unlikely to improve.
