Bidding wars are off the charts, as home listings fall to a record low

Presidents Day weekend marks the unofficial start of the spring housing market, but if you're looking to get in this year, hold onto your wallet. Bidding wars are off the charts, even as home prices are rising rapidly. About 40% of potential buyers cited that in a new survey by the National Association of Home Builders. Well over half of all buyers, 56%, faced bidding wars on their offers in January, according to a Redfin survey. "With so few new listings hitting the market, I expect bidding wars to become more common and involve even more potential buyers as we head into the spring homebuying season," said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at Redfin.

Homeowners and buyers are the real winners in this election

"Interest rates dropped to another record low this week ... because of uncertainty around the election results," said George Ratiu, senior economist at realtor.com. Volatility surrounding the 2020 presidential election has helped push mortgage rates to their 12th record low this year, giving both homeowners and buyers a boost. Mortgage rates follow loosely the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury. For homebuyers, consistently low rates over the past several months, and the almost weekly prospect of rates falling even lower, have only fueled already strong demand. In Denver, for example, record low inventory of less than a one-month supply pushed prices to yet another record high.

Mortgage rates set yet another record low, but applications fall

Borrowers are clearly used to hearing that mortgage rates set another record low because last week's dip did nothing to spur mortgage demand. The volume of applications for mortgages decreased 0.7% for the week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's seasonally adjusted index. The new record low was also such a tiny move that it clearly had little impact. Housing demand continues to be incredibly strong, driven by record low interest rates and a pandemic-induced need to nest in larger homes with space for work and schooling. Mortgage rates didn't move much at all to start this week and have little incentive to make any move right now since no major economic reports are imminent.

Coronavirus pandemic fuels affordability crisis for homebuyers

Fierce competition for a limited supply of homes for sale has caused a surge in prices. Now, potential buyers, some fleeing urban areas hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, are facing a national affordability crisis. Home prices are rising faster than incomes there, but for now at least, homes are still affordable. As homebuying becomes less affordable, buyers are getting by with a little help from friends and family. About 59% of millennial homebuyers are receiving help with their mortgage down payment according to a recent report from Lending Tree.

Masks donated by Apple and Facebook for health workers were stockpiled after wildfire regulations

The World Health Organization declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic on March 11. When large tech companies including Apple and Facebook announced this week that they'd be donating stockpiles of protective masks to health workers around the world, some people may have wondered why they had them in the first place. Masks are in short supply around the world as the coronavirus spreads and threatens to overwhelm health systems in the U.S. Apple said it is donating 9 million protective masks and other equipment to health workers in the U.S. and Europe. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told health workers last week that they can use homemade masks "in settings where facemasks are not available."

83 New York residents placed in self-quarantine after returning from coronavirus-stricken China

People wear medical masks as a precaution against coronavirus, walking around the in the streets of New York, United States on January 30, 2020. Nassau County health officials said Wednesday that they have placed 83 Americans who recently returned to New York from China in self-quarantine due to concerns they were exposed to the new coronavirus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified local officials that a plane was carrying Nassau County residents with "potential exposure" to the virus, Nassau County Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein told reporters. Potential exposure, in this case, means that they had traveled to China in the past 14 days. He added that because "almost all" of the returnees are Nassau County residents, "in most cases" they are voluntarily quarantined at home.
