 Home prices in Baltimore may be starting to fall.
The city's overflowing with real estate on the market. Rising prime interest rates usually fight inflation by pushing home prices down. And, the city appears to be following a national trend of declining home values. This was revealed by three National Association of realtors at a Senate Committee hearing in September.
Sales statistics from the Maryland's Association Realtors show homes sales in the city rose steadily for the first six months of 2006, starting at $155,786 in January to $192,227 in July. Home purchase and refinance rates remained steady, as second mortgage rates dropped slightly. The home equity loan application volume rose slightly as well. This indicated that many Maryland homeowners took advantage of reduced 2nd mortgage rates to access cash from their home.
But Augusts housing figures show the effect of a prime interest rte leveling off at 8.25% for three months in a row. The average home sales price dropped to $183,975. "Contrary to many reports, there is not a 'national housing bubble,'" Thomas M. Stevens, president of NAR, told the Senate Subcommittee on Housing and Transportation and the Senate Subcommittee on Economic Policy. "We were seeing home prices and mortgage debt servicing cost-to-income ratios increase to unhealthy levels in some housing markets, which precipitate an adjustment."
"Also contributing to the cooling housing market is an increase in mortgage rates of nearly one point, speculative investors pulling back and first-time buyers being priced out of the market." "As of the end of May 2006, the inventory of unsold listings is very high, says Barry levy. "Supply is ahead of demand, which means, in part, that sellers have not yet adjusted to the new price level in the marketplace. We are still seeing multiple offers on properties that are well priced." "In the Baltimore area, although some folks are seeking homes, the market is swamped with homes for sale," says realtor Kevin Utz. "This makes for a great buyer's deal."
