Home Prices Soar on Short Supply, Investor Demand

Prices today are rising fast because supplies of homes for sale are so low. Both new and existing homes are running near four month supplies.

For new homes, builders just aren’t able to start fast enough, due to labor and land restraints.

For existing homes, there are fewer distressed properties for sale, a segment that has driven the market into recovery, and organic homeowners are either unwilling to list their homes for fear of selling at the bottom, or unable to list because they are still underwater on their mortgages.

Prices for damaged foreclosures are at their lowest level in over 4 years, due to reduced demand by current and first-time home buyers. Investors have increased their purchase share of these properties, accounting for 65.4% of sales, up from 58% a year ago, according to the survey. Since investors largely buy in bulk, they get bigger discounts.

While home prices continue to surge, they are still 29% below their peak in 2006.

With the all-important spring season knocking on housing’s door, price gains will depend on how many more homes are listed for sale. Demand is already waiting.
