You can see the drastic change this made in the Mortgage Bankers Association Credit Availability index , below, which skyrocketed in 2005 and 2006 before an epic collapse in 2008. Just look how lousy credit looked below in 2005, 2006 and 2007 — all before the job-loss recession in 2008. Demographics also play a role here.
Here’s a quick rundown of the last week: Active listings rose by 8,546 , and newlisting data showed some growth. If that is the case, then this week’s gain in active inventory and newlistings needs to be taken with a grain of salt until we get next week’s data. However, I will take what I can now.
What I mean by a credit bust is that after the housing bubble burst in 2005 into 2006, we saw a massive increase in supply. Since they were distressed forced sellers, inventory skyrocketed in 2006 and stayed very elevated in 2007 and 2008. Only from 2006-2011 did we see this break due to forced sellers who couldn’t buy homes.
But since we have such low active listings today, even with 2024 being another year of low home sales, the days on the market are still under 30 days, which means homes that are priced right are selling quickly. Newlistings The most significant and glaring difference between 2011 and 2024 is the weekly newlistings data for the peak season.
The one period where this didn’t happen was from 2006-2011, when credit forced Americans to sell, to rent or to be homeless. During that period, we saw newlisting data decline. Total housing costs for American homeowners versus their wages are meager, and most will buy a home right away when they sell.
This explains why total active listing inventory data has been stable over the decades, with the exception of 2006-2011, when those forced distressed credit home sellers couldn’t buy. Mortgage rates spiked in March, and then the newlisting data started to decline at the end of June.

In February, the number of homes available for sale fell for the fifth consecutive month, and newlistings ran 27% below pre-pandemic levels. In addition, 47 of 50 markets saw their active listing count decline that month. On the bright side, homeowners with mortgages still had $9.3 In February, it took 33.2%
I don’t need to see total active listing get back to the historical range of 2-2.5 Newlistings are declining now. Inventory is always seasonal, but the decline in newlistings this year was not what I wanted to see. This is not encouraging news at all, in my view. From Redfin.
However, weeks after that call, the newlisting data started to decline noticeably, which makes that call much harder to happen in 2023. However, I acknowledge that the housing dynamics have changed a lot since that forecast in June as newlisting data declined. million in 2023. million for 2023. Housing recession.
The only time this happened was 2006-2011 — the housing bust years. However, 5%-6% mortgage rates did change the marketplace and now 6%-7% mortgage rates are changing behavior so that we see newlisting data declining even more as sellers are calling it quits on their plan to list.

While there is no doubt it is a seller’s market in Peoria, Van Cleve said many potential sellers are hesitant to list. Although housing market conditions may be challenging heading into the spring season, agents in the inventory-strapped state are optimistic that newlistings will soon be coming to market.
What can’t happen is mortgage rates above 7%, since that level hasn’t fueled newlistings, which means less demand, and the builders simply are done building anything new with rates that high. The housing market getting some stabilization will be a plus as we saw some buyers come into the marketplace with rates at 5%.
The reasons it will avoid a crash, according to Zandi, are that overall housing-inventory levels remain relatively tight by historical measures; mortgages overall have and continue to benefit from solid underwriting and oversight; and we are not seeing the kind of speculation that marked the housing market in the run-up to the 2006/07 crash. “I
The housing market is entering the ‘most significant contraction in activity since 2006,’ says Freddie Mac economist” (Fortune). Consequently, prices of new homes should follow a similar downward path, although the trajectory is the question. The number of home listings remains low nationally.
Consequently, we’re witnessing the lowest number of newlistings since 2000. The hesitation to lose rates in the 3% range, coupled with concerns about higher monthly payments upon buying again, has resulted in a scarcity of newlistings.
Therefore, we are in a market with the lowest amount of newlistings since 1994. The lack of listings is a major factor in how low inventory is, so buyers are still competing, and this is why prices haven’t fallen. It’s a misconception that rates only impact buyers and 2023 is a perfect example of that.
