Home prices in the US are not sustainable - July 26, 2022

This image is no longer relevant

Today we will look at the fundamentals for the home prices, home starts and new home sales as we see some clear risks here going forward. As we can see from the chart above, the home prices in the US are at an all-time high and much higher than it was back in 2005 - 2007 at the former peak. With rising rates and both home starts and new home sales descending, the current uptrend in home prices is not sustainable.

It's not unusual that home prices continue to move higher whilst both home starts and new home sales already have started to descend as home prices are a laggard indicator. The denial amongst home sellers is clear. Once they have to adjust to the new environment, it will be painful as there will be a lot of catch-ups to do.

We expect home prices to fall to between USD 280.000 - 320.000 from the current level of USD 407.600. A drop in home prices like that will spill over into the equity markets just like we saw back in 2008 - 2009.
