As we continue to look for answers to some of the biggest
questions surrounding this crisis, we start to wonder what kind of effect the
stock market has on the housing market, and how much of an impact we will see
as a result. We begin by asking ourselves; When the stock market goes down as
quickly has it has been, does it have a tremendous effect on home prices?
Often the best answers to questions is another question itself, and in this case, we look to the last crisis that occurred; being the crash of 2008. So, we ask, will this be just like 2008?
To help answer this, we take a look at the graph provided above which shows the crash of 2008, to the S&P Correction of the same time. The graph illustrates the S&P Correction at 51% during that time, and the Annual Home Price Deprecation that occurred just under 20%.
In a quote by David Rosenberg, he explains that what we are experiencing now has more in common with what we experienced in 2001 (9/11) than with 2008.
“What 9/11 has in common with what is happening today is
that this shock has also generated fear, angst, and anxiety among the general
public. People avoided crowds then as they believed another terrorist attack
was coming and are acting the same today to avoid getting sick. The same parts
of the economy are under pressure – airlines, leisure, hospitality,
restaurants, entertainment – consumer discretionary services in general.” –
David Rosenberg, Gluskin Sheff + Associates Inc.’s Chief Economist.
When breaking down what was said by Mr. Rosenberg, we can see that this event lines up more with how we acted when 9/11 occurred. To help better illustrate this comparison, we will look at the graph below similarly as we did for 2008, but instead observe what occurred with 9/11 as well as the Dot.com crash.
Here we can see that the S&P Correction was at 45%,
however cumulatively over the same time, Housing Price Appreciation was
up almost 24%. This shows that housing reacted very differently during 9/11 and
the Dot.com crash compared to how it reacted in 2008. This visual helps make
the case that it’s not unreasonable to say that if what we’re experiencing
right now is a lot more like 9/11 and not 2008, than the housing market will react a lot more
like it did during 9/11 and the Dot.com crash than it did in 2008. Annual Home
Price Appreciation reacted very well, and based of off what’s occurred so far,
we can make the argument that we are seeing similar situations now.
When the pandemic began, the housing market was off to a tremendous start, with home sale reports showing the highest number of houses sold within the last 13 years, on an annual basis. While a bit of a slowdown has occurred due to the events going on, we can say that when this is all over, and it will be, we can expect the market to come roaring back and continue that trend that started the year off.
In these recent times of uncertainty, you may find yourself asking
how the Novel Coronavirus has impacted the housing market, and what changes you
can expect to see. We are here to give you some insight by answering four of the
biggest questions in this four-part blog involving what has happened to the
housing market, and what we can expect to see in the months and years to come.
Now more than ever it’s important to stay informed on what’s occuring in the
county, and we hope this series will provide you with the necessary information
that you need.
The first biggest question you may be asking yourself, is
what are people doing with their money, and what does it mean for housing?
To start off, it’s important to look at the relationship between the 30-year mortgage rate and 10-year treasury rate. For almost 50 years, the two rates have moved in unison with one another, with the 10-year treasury rate often being used to predict the foreseen mortgage rate.
As seen in the graph above, the two have held a symbiotic relationship of the past several decades. What you may now notice, is that this relationship has recently changed. This change can be attributed to several other factors such as money coming out of the stock market and into bonds. While treasury rates have seen a recent decline, mortgage rates have not followed in the same trend. In fact, what we are seeing right now is volatility in the market as pricing is going back and forth intraday.
In a quote from First American, “As evidenced by recent events, often the spread increases because mortgage refinance application processing capacity cannot meet demand, so lender-offered rates don’t follow the Treasury yield down one for one. So, while the mortgage rate has declined in response to the decline in yields, it is unlikely to fall by the same magnitude as the Treasury yield…
It is plausible that mortgage rates fall further if the
benchmark 10-year Treasury bonds yield decline further…
It’s reasonable to expect that rates will fall even further
and likely surpass the prior record low, but not necessarily one-for-one with
the 10-year Treasury yield.” – Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist, First
American.
In the graph below, we can look at the rate environment over the last year to better illustrate the flow of the 30-year mortgage rate going forward.
With all the volatility we’re seeing in the market right now being different than we’ve ever seen, we should look to the 10-year treasury as a way to judge what to expect in the future.
