January 2023 Snapshot: The US housing market began the year in a state of rebalance, with many buyers and sellers remaining cautious while they wait to see where the market is headed. Nationally, pending sales rose 2.5% month-to-month, marking the first increase since May, while sales of existing homes fell 1.5% as of last measure, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). Demand for housing persists, but higher mortgage interest rates have cut into housing affordability, with total home sales down 17.8% last year compared to 2021.
In NH, as compared to January 2021, New Listings decreased 9.1% for single family homes and 12.4% for townhouse-condo properties. Pending Sales increased 3% for single family homes and decreased 10% for townhouse-condo properties. Inventory increased 37.5% for single family homes and 71.4% for townhouse-condo properties.
As sales slow, time on market is increasing, with the average home spending 26 days on market, according to NAR. Seller concessions have made a comeback, giving buyers more time and negotiating power when shopping for a home. Although home prices remain high, mortgage rates declined steadily throughout January, falling to their lowest level since September, sparking a recent surge in mortgage demand. Lower rates should aid in affordability and may soon lead to an uptick in market activity ahead of the spring selling season.
