California Market Update
July 01, 2024 – The combination of recent macroeconomic and market data reports lend themselves to cautious optimism about the trajectory of the housing market in California for the second half of 2024. Mortgage rates have stabilized and even come down slightly after spiking again in April and May. The treasury market is also supportive of less rate volatility in coming weeks, and both trends should help to bolster housing demand before kids return to school. Rising inventory has helped to relieve some competitive pressure on transactions here in California, which should come as welcome news for would-be homebuyers—particularly as it comes paired with an improvement in rates. Despite the generally positive backdrop, homeowners insurance remains the persistent challenge in California elsewhere as recent reports show premiums have risen significantly, policies are less available, and prices are poised to go even higher.
