The year-over-year comparison is very large this month because economic activity in May of 2020, including the housing market, was significantly curtailed due to the pandemic.

In May, housing market potential increased 0.8 percent compared with April, and is now nearly 23 percent higher than the pandemic-driven decline last May,\u201d said Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American. \u201cRelative to two years ago, housing market potential is nearly 18 percent higher.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cA dip in mortgage rates and slight uptick in household income fueled an increase in house-buying power that was large enough to offset the largest monthly increase in tenure length since August 2020. Despite the pandemic-driven demand for more space and shift away from urban areas, the average tenure length \u2013 the amount of time a typical homeowner lives in their home \u2013 continues to set new records,\u201d said Fleming. \u201cYou can\u2019t buy what\u2019s not for sale, even if your buying power says you can afford it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Pandemic-Accelerated Demand Trends Collide with Homebodies \u2013 To the Winner Goes Housing Market Potential<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cHouse-buying power, which is a function of mortgage rates and household income, increased by approximately $7,100 in May, contributing to a gain of nearly 31,000 potential home sales compared with last month. Both mortgage rates and household income swung in favor of increased house-buying power in May, offsetting the historic lack of supply,\u201d said Fleming. \u201cThe primary cause of the lack of supply? Homebodies, existing homeowners choosing to remain in place and not list their homes for sale, a <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.firstam.com%2Feconomics%2Fhow-homebodies-hold-down-home-sales&amp;esheet=52449149&amp;newsitemid=20210622005364&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=trend+that+has+hampered+housing+market+potential+for+several+years&amp;index=2&amp;md5=1910eb8fca6bc4884e4fce4c4011c1e4\">trend that has hampered housing market potential for several years<\/a> and continues to worsen.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Homebodies, the Immovable Object <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAverage tenure length jumped nearly 4 percent from one year ago, and 0.4 percent compared with last month. The monthly gain was the largest since August 2020. The monthly increase in average tenure length contributed to a loss of over 17,000 potential home sales,\u201d said Fleming. \u201cSince existing homeowners supply the majority of the homes for sale, and increasing tenure length indicates homeowners are not selling, the housing market faces an ongoing supply shortage.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBefore the housing market crash in 2007, the average length of time someone lived in their home was approximately five years. Average tenure length grew to approximately eight years during the aftermath of the housing market crisis between 2008 and 2016,\u201d said Fleming. \u201cThe most recent data shows that the average length of time someone lives in their home reached 10.6 years in May 2021, an historic high.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cTwo trends are locking homebodies in place and driving the increase in tenure length. First, for homeowners with rock-bottom rates, modestly higher rates in an historically low inventory environment may disincentivize some from selling their homes, thus preventing more supply from reaching the market. Second, seniors are choosing to age in place,\u201d said Fleming. \u201cAnalysis of the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcps.ipums.org%2Fcps-action%2Fvariables%2Fgroup&amp;esheet=52449149&amp;newsitemid=20210622005364&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=2020+ASEC+data&amp;index=3&amp;md5=71eab09cd0f85a5a5a9d71a6eba04e02\">2020 ASEC data<\/a> reveals that the homeownership rate actually increased for baby boomers in 2020.

As seniors continue to choose to age in place, there will be fewer existing homes available for sale.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>What Does it all Mean for Housing Market Potential?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt all comes down to the fundamentals. House-buying power drives the market potential for existing-home sales, but market potential is limited by what you can buy. The demand for homes is strong as millennials continue to age into homeownership, mortgage rates remain low, and the economy begins to improve,\u201d said Fleming. \u201cYet, we need more existing homes for sale to satisfy this growing demand. You can\u2019t buy what\u2019s not for sale \u2013 and the homebodies don\u2019t seem ready to relieve the supply pressure, keeping a lid on market potential growth.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Next Release <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe next Potential Home Sales Model will be released on July 21, 2021 with June 2021 data.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About the Potential Home Sales Model<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nPotential home sales measures existing-homes sales, which include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate based on the historical relationship between existing-home sales and U.S. population demographic data, homeowner tenure, house-buying power in the U.S. economy, price trends in the U.S. housing market, and conditions in the financial market. When the actual level of existing-home sales are significantly above potential home sales, the pace of turnover is not supported by market fundamentals and there is an increased likelihood of a market correction. Conversely, seasonally adjusted, annualized rates of actual existing-home sales below the level of potential existing-home sales indicate market turnover is underperforming the rate fundamentally supported by the current conditions. Actual seasonally adjusted annualized existing-home sales may exceed or fall short of the potential rate of sales for a variety of reasons, including non-traditional market conditions, policy constraints and market participant behavior. Recent potential home sale estimates are subject to revision to reflect the most up-to-date information available on the economy, housing market and financial conditions. The Potential Home Sales model is published prior to the National Association of Realtors\u2019 Existing-Home Sales report each month.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Disclaimer<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nOpinions, estimates, forecasts and other views contained in this page are those of First American\u2019s Chief Economist, do not necessarily represent the views of First American or its management, should not be construed as indicating First American\u2019s business prospects or expected results, and are subject to change without notice.
