Welcome back dream makers, this is Today In Mortgage! We are discussing what historically happens to housing during election years. To do this, we are specifically looking at home sales, home prices and interest rates according to today's article from Keeping Current: "How will the 2024 election affect real estate." Traditionally, home sales decline due to people waiting to see what happens in the election while home prices usually rise, and mortgage rates historically trend down. We don't expect this year to be any different!

Welcome back dream makers, today we are discussing voters and housing! We are in election season, and today's article from Housing Wires says housing is a top issue for voters. Specifically, affordability is the main issue, which is effected by rates, regulations and inventory. Last week we discussed rates and how the president really can't influence rates, but loosening regulations, giving tax breaks & increasing inventory can really help affordability. Neither president has released a comprehensive plans for affordable housing, but the left and the right have different ideas on how to encourage buyers. What we know is we need more housing and we need both parties to get together with policy on how this will happen.

Today in Mortgages we discuss which generation is paying the most for housing. Across the board everything was less expensive for older generations from home prices to college to household goods. A surprise is that it cost less household income-wise for the younger generation. Millennials are paying 23% of their household income for housing verses 33% of the medium household income in 1980. But today's younger generations are also paying for way more conveniences like streaming services and grocery deliveries that didn't exist in the past. One of the biggest issues for today's buyers is lack of inventory. Proving that home buying has always been a challenge.

Today in Mortgages we discuss how housing plays into inflation. Yesterday Powell discussed "sticky shelter inflation" referring to high shelter costs, which make up about 30-40% of CPI. Shelter includes rent, insurance, hotels, and personal residences. Powell discussed whether cuts can come while housing inflation is still elevated and hinted at only one rate cut this year. Ultimately, we shouldn't wait for rates to come down to get down to business. It took a while for these rates to come up, and it's going to take a while for them to come back down.
