Weekly inventory data
In recent years our inventory data has grown steadily in August, but this year it is not. I initially believed that we had not yet reached the peak of the active inventory in 2025, but I have proven that it is wrong. Now we usually experience in the phase in which Inventaris is usually experiencing seasonal decline.
What is interesting is that stock growth was excellent earlier this year, but I noticed a change in the housing dynamics from mid -June. Let’s connect the dots:
– our new list data peaked on 23 May, which is the earliest time frame in recent history to have that taken place. Moreover, we did not go through any significant growth during the peak months of 2025.
– Even in May, some sellers did not receive the price they wanted and started to withdraw their entries. Remember that most sellers are also home buyers, and this year we have probably discouraged some housing sellers from keeping their homes on the market.
– Then the mortgage interest rate began to crawl lower, and they have been below the most important level of 6.64% for nine consecutive weeks, which has facilitated the best nine weeks of purchasing application data. The demand has been picked up a bit, so that the supply is removed from the market faster.
Keep it so simple, and it can explain why the growth rate of stock was excellent at the beginning of the year, but really started to slow down at the center of June.
- Weekly inventory change (26 September-3): Inventory came from 862.575 Unpleasant 863,972
- The same week last year (September 27–4): Inventory came from 731,010 Unpleasant 734,257
New frame data
The new list data peaked in the week of 23 May this year and reached a total of 83,143 entries. Since then, the number of new entries has gradually decreased. This has been an important factor in slowing down the growth of the stock from the strong start. We usually see new lists of data trending between 80,000 and 100,000 during the seasonal peak months, which did not really happen this year.
For any perspective in the years of the house bubble crash rose, new entries rise between 250,000 and 400,000 a week for many years. Here are the new list data from last week in the past two years:
- 2025: 64.328
- 2024: 60.629
Price percentage
About a third of the house price reductions experience in an average year. Homeowners often lower their selling prices when the stock levels rise and the mortgage interest remains high, which is why the percentage of price reductions is larger in 2025 than last year.
For my 2025 Price forecastI expected a modest rise in house prices by around 1.77%. This suggests that 2025 will probably see negative real prices. In 2024 my prediction of an increase of 2.33% turned out to be inaccurate, especially since the rates fell to around 6% and the question in the second half of the year improved. As a result, house prices increased by 4%in 2024. The rise in price reductions this year compared to last year reinforces my cautious growth gursing for 2025. This data growth rate has recently been cooled.

10-year revenue and mortgage interest
In my forecast of 2025 I expected the following series:
- Mortgage interest between 5.75% and 7.25%
- The return of 10 years fluctuates between 3.80% and 4.70%
Last week Jobs was week, but with the closure of the government we did not have the latest task reports for the week, including unemployed claims on Thursday and the Big BLS report report on Friday, that the FED follows so closely. The 10-year proceeds did not have too much of a crazy week and ended the week at 4.12%.
The mortgage interest rate fell somewhat from 6.38% to 6.34% this week, the two job reports that we had this week – the vacancies and the ADP report – were soft, which held a lid on bond returns this week.
Mortgage spreads
Mortgage spreads are the best story for mortgage interest in 2025. At a certain point this year we were only 0.35% away from normal spread levels, and we reached 0.2% basic points removed from my peak improvement prediction for 2025 for mortgage spreads.
Historically, the mortgage spreads varied between 1.60% and 1.80%. If the spreads were as bad today as at the height of 2023, the mortgage interest would currently be 0.91% higher. Conversely, if the spreads return to their normal reach, the mortgage interest rate would be 0.59% to 0.39% lower than today’s level. Normal spreads would mean the mortgage interest rate against 5.75% to 5.95% today.
Application -Buy data
The purchase of application data last week fell 1% of week to week, while the year after year a growth of 16% showed.
Here are the weekly data for 2025 so far:
- 19 Positive Lectures
- 13 Negative measurements
- 6 PLAT PRINTS
- 35 straight weeks of positive data on an annual basis
- 22 consecutive weeks of double -digit growth year after year
Because the mortgage interest rate fell below 6.64% and was on its way to 6% – the most important level I have been talking about for years – the weekly data has had:
- 7 positive weeks
- 2 negative weeks
- 9 consecutive weeks of double -digit growth year after year
We usually need about 12-14 weeks of consistent, positive weekly purchase app data to have a material impact. The last nine weeks have been the best of the year in terms of data from week to week. Buying apps, watching 30-90 days for sale.
Weekly pending sales
Our weekly hanging home sales offer a glimpse of week to week in the data, although in anticipation of sale can be influenced by holidays and short -term fluctuations. We still show slight growth on an annual basis in this data line. The current sales data is usually reflected in the existing Home Sales Report 30-60 days after the sale has been completed. Last week our highest weekly pending sales data for houses for this calendar year since the market crash in 2022.
Weekly pending sales for last week:
- 2025: 64,232
- 2024: 61.043
The coming week: speeches fed and government -climbing news?
Assuming the government is closed, we do not receive the unemployed claim report. We will still have a few bond auctions and a multitude of FED members who speak. At the economic level, not much will change for the weekly calendar, but we will keep a close eye on news about the reopening of the government.
On the housing front, the longer this closure lasts, the more delays can occur in closures. It is a big week to see which party is the first to flash, but the following week is the inflation week, and both the CPI and PPI inflation reports come from the government, so if the closure continues, we have not to report those data lines.
