2022-08-3115 minOrange County Housing Market NewsWhy hasn't the housing market crashed yet?Interest rates are at 15 year highs, demand is lower than anytime since 2007. So why are we not seeing home prices plummet in Orange County right now? One word. SUPPLY. Supply started the year at the lowest level ever and this year we have seen 17% less homes hit the market in Orange County than usual. Until we get supply back up, the market is going to remain stable for the foreseeable future. How can supply get high enough to see home values drop? This episode goes over that and more.

2022-07-2105 minOrange County Housing Market NewsWhat will mortgage rates do if/when we go into a recession?Will mortgage rates go up or down during a recession? Looking at data from all recessions in the past 40 years, it's pretty clear. In 100% of those recessions, mortgage rates first spiked and then went down by they end of the recession. Once we see inflation peak and start dropping, you can expect mortgage rates to do the same. At the same time, the feds will also typically lower rates to encourage spending again to help the economy get out of a recession which further increase the chances that rates will end up lower after everything is said and done.
