Home price growth slowing
May marked the third month in a row that Case-Shiller's seasonally-adjusted national home price index declined month-over-month. On an unadjusted (real world) basis, home prices are still rising nationally, just at a much slower pace than normal for these spring/summer months. And in some markets, home prices are actually declining, albeit modestly.
Disagreement at the Fed
As expected, the Federal Reserve held its policy rate range steady at 4.25-4.50%. But unusually for the consensus-loving Fed, two voters (Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman) dissented. They wanted a 25 basis point (0.25% = one quarter of a percentage point) cut instead. A day later, the PCE (inflation) report showed a modest INCREASE in the annual inflation rate. Not what we want to see.
Mortgage rates steady
According to Freddie Mac's weekly PMMS, average 30-year mortgage rates were largely unchanged week-over-week at 6.72%. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's comments after the FOMC meeting were somewhat hawkish, suggesting that a rate cut at the September meeting was far from guaranteed, especially if tariffs appear to be reigniting inflation.
