With job creation increasing and mortgage rates remaining low, the pull toward homeownership is expected to continue. Yet housing starts have been drifting lower, and some are beginning to worry that a more serious housing shortage could be in the cards if new construction and building permit applications continue to come in lower in year-over-year comparisons while demand remains high. Homebuilder confidence suggests otherwise, so predictions of a gloomy future should be curbed for the time being.
According to Bankrate.com, interest rates have continued to stay near the 4% level, despite the Federal Reserve Bank finally raising the fed funds rate to .75%. They are currently at 4.12% for a 30-year fixed loan (they were at 4.00% at this time last month). This is well below the historical average of 6% or so, which is great for home buyers.
