Are home loan values expected to drop in 2024? This is a common concern in the real estate market, which is always evolving. Despite uncertainties for buyers and sellers, with low loan defaults, historically low housing inventory, and the Federal Reserve predicting a slower US economy – resulting in lower mortgage rates and increased buyer interest – all point to a reassuring “No.”
However, a potential shift could occur if we witness a surge in mortgage loan defaults and a significant increase in inventory. Currently, household balance sheets remain robust with the majority of home mortgages under a 4% interest rate. It’s important to note that different price points may not follow the same trends, with higher interest rates impacting larger loans more than smaller ones. The dynamics in the high-end luxury market may differ from those in the first-time home purchase segment.
