People ask why I have a problem with sensationalist headlines. Who you gonna believe, Realtor.com who tells us that foreclosures are spiking, or CoreLogic, who tells us that mortgage delinquencies are at an all-time low, both on the same day? Logically, given the equity position that many borrowers have (including plenty of all-cash buyers that have been going strong), their credit profile, and a huge demand by millions of people in their 20s and 30s, a lot of foreclosures makes no sense. And growth in certain areas continues, something that every lender should be aware of. Nine of the nation’s 15 fastest-growing cities were in the South, according to Vintage 2022 Population Estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Of the nine fastest-growing cities in the South, six were in Texas. Following the population increase of 14 percent in Georgetown, Texas, was Santa Cruz, California, with a 12 percent increase, adding roughly 7,000 people to its population. The next three fastest-growing cities were also in Texas: Kyle, Leander, and Little Elm.

Will a Silver Tsunami Change the 2024 Housing Market? Have you ever heard the term “Silver Tsunami” and wondered what it's all about? If so, that might be because there’s been lot of talk about it online recently. Let's dive into what it is and why it won't drastically impact the housing market. What Does Silver Tsunami Mean? A recent article from HousingWire calls it: “. . . a colloquialism referring to aging Americans changing their housing arrangements to accommodate aging . . .” The thought is that as baby boomers grow older, a significant number will start downsizing their homes. Considering how large that generation is, if these moves happened in a big wave, it would affect the housing market by causing a significant uptick in the number of larger homes for sale. That influx of homes coming onto the market would impact the balance of supply and demand and more. The concept makes sense in theory, but will it happen? And if so, when? Why It Won’t Have a Huge Impact on the Housing Market in 2024 Experts say, so far, a silver tsunami hasn’t happened – and it probably won't anytime soon. According to that same article from HousingWire: “. . . the silver tsunami’s transformative potential for the U.S. housing market has not yet materialized in any meaningful way, and few expect it to anytime soon.” Clearly, not every baby boomer is planning to sell or move – and even those who do won’t do it all at once. Instead, it will be more gradual, happening slowly over time. If you’re worried about a Silver Tsunami shaking up the housing market, don’t be. Any impact from baby boomers moving will be gradual over many years. Fleming sums it up best: “Demographic trends, they don't tsunami. They trickle.” #realestate #homeownership #homebuying www.DanFreshley.com
