Realtors Confidence Report

The latest Realtor confidence report.

Renters, Owners with/without Mortgages

Interesting chart from John Wake about renters versus owners (with and without mortgages).

Max Mortgage Amount

Another good one from John Wake showing the max mortgage amount for Fannie and Freddie.

Mortgage Applications Up

Astraia shares a good chart about mortgage applications being up and the recent history.

Price-to-Rent Ratio

Another good article from Bill McBride including this chart showing price-to-rent ratio. Realize that interest rates are not directly shown here and with much higher interest rates, this is far worse cash flow with financed properties.

Rents

A bunch of great stuff on rents from Bill McBride including this chart. My comment: we’re still seeing rent increase faster than what appears to be “typical” going back to 2005.

Markets With Price Declines and Those Without

Interesting article and chart showing where real estate prices have been declining.
