Welcome, future homeowners and investors! As your trusted real estate agent, I'm thrilled to guide you through the exciting journey of finding your dream property or making savvy investments. This month, we have some fantastic featured articles highlighting the latest trends in the housing market.
A very weak jobs report
The BLS reported jobs growth of just +64K in November, but that was after -108K in October. In addition, previously released figures were revised down by 59K. The narrow unemployment rate (U-3) rose from 4.4% in September to 4.6% in November. The broader unemployment rate (U-6) rose from 8.0% in September to 8.7% in November. Ignoring COVID, that’s the highest since March 2017.
Lowest "core" CPI in years
Both "headline" and "core" CPI (Consumer Price Index = inflation for you and me) climbed just +0.2% over the last two months, allowing the annual inflation rate for "headline" CPI to fall to +2.7% YoY and "core" CPI to drop to 2.6% YoY. That's the slowest rate of "core" CPI growth since April 2021!
Goods news for rates
The Federal Reserve's dual mandate is to keep both inflation and unemployment under control. Lately, the Fed has been more worried about the slowing jobs market than inflation, and the latest data from the BLS (jump in unemployment + lowest "core" CPI in years) strongly supports that view. Average 30-yr mortgage rates moved back below 6.25%.
