Housing market update

Despite a drop in gas prices that has provided some near-term relief for Americans, elevated food prices and rent continued to keep cost of living at a painfully high level. The same is true for buyers in the housing market. The combination of elevated home prices, higher mortgage rates and slower income growth has reduced affordability and dampened both new and existing home sales. That said, while Americans’ incomes rose more slowly in July, those gains were not swallowed up by higher prices for the first time in the past few months. The latest revision on the second quarter Gross Domestic Product also offers some encouraging news, as both consumer spending and business investment have held up better than expected, suggesting a slightly stronger economy than previously reported.
