Answering six burning questions on US real estate Real estate markets Author: Jonathan Woloshin, CFA, CIO Equity Strategist, US Real Estate & Lodging, UBS Financial Services Inc. (UBS FS)

• Housing affordability remains extremely stressed with mortgage rates at multi-decade highs and monthly payments as a percentage of income well above the housing bubble period.

• The dearth of available for-sale inventory combined with severe underbuilding in the years following the global financial crisis and the fact that 61% of outstanding mortgages have a rate below 4% and 80% have a rate below 5% are likely to keep the housing market unbalanced for the foreseeable future.

• The supply/demand imbalance is likely to help keep a floor on home prices. This combined with significantly better mortgage underwriting standards post the global financial crisis will, in our opinion, help prevent a housing crisis similar to the 2008/2009 period.

• Although distress in the commercial real estate market is likely to increase, we believe the plethora of dry powder sitting on the sidelines combined with capital remaining available from banks and the capital markets will help prevent a substantial meltdown in the CRE market.

• Over the next several years we see the best CRE investment opportunities in residential rentals, industrial/warehouse and distressed real estate debt.

Given the sharp upward move in interest rates and the "higher for longer" narrative being espoused by the Federal Reserve, we wanted to address several key questions on the minds of clients pertaining to the US real estate market.

1) What is the impact of affordability concerns with mortgage rates at multi-decade highs? There are a number of ways to measure affordability. It is important to remember that the majority of homebuyers buy on monthly payment as opposed to price. If we consider monthly payment, we believe the most effective measure of affordability is considering monthly principal and interest payment as a percentage of median household income. As Fig. 1 highlights, the current monthly mortgage payment as

a percentage of median household income is approximately 42% or roughly 1,000 bps above the peak of the housing bubble. This data is based on a median existing home price of USD 413,500, a 30-year fixed rate, fully amortizing mortgage at a rate of 7.5% and a 10% down payment.

It is also important to consider the cost of ownership relative to that of renting. As the data in Fig. 2 highlight, the current monthly mortgage premium to the median three bedroom rent in the US is at a 27-year high and well above the peak of the housing bubble. As housing is such a local business, in Fig. 3 we compare the monthly cost of ownership vs. the monthly rent of a three-bedroom apartment in 50 of the largest cities in the US. For the purposes of this analysis, we consider the fully loaded cost of monthly homeownership – that is principal and interest, real estate taxes, homeowner’s insurance, maintenance and mortgage insurance (given a 10% down payment assumption). In our view, this provides a more accurate comparison of the true cost of owning vs. renting. As the data in Fig.3 indicate, it is significantly less expensive to rent rather than own in 48 of 50 of the largest markets in the US – and this assumes one has the funds for a down payment and can qualify for a mortgage. In addition, this is prior to the restarting of student loan payments that were suspended during the pandemic.

2) Will supply and demand dynamics in housing balance out anytime soon? One of the key factors impacting the US housing market over the past several years has been the dearth of available single-family home inventory. Whether measured by absolute units or months of supply (MOS) existing home inventory remains extremely depressed (Fig. 4).

One of the key contributors to this dearth of available inventory is the “lock-in effect” of existing home mortgages carrying interest rates significantly below current rates. As the data in Fig. 5 indicates, 61% of existing mortgages have a mortgage rate less than 4% while another 20% have a rate between 4%-5%.

Fig. 5 - Share of outstanding mortgages by interest rate at origination as of 1Q 2023

If all that were not enough, there has been a chronic underbuilding of single-family homes in the US following the global financial crisis (Fig. 7). The combination of greater capital discipline among homebuilders, particularly large, public builders and tightening lending standards has resulted in a substantial shortage of single-family homes. As such, it is likely the supply demand/imbalance is likely to remain unfavorable as long as mortgage rates remain elevated.

Fig. 7 - Single-family home supply and construction trends, January 1990-August 2023

Source: FHFA, UBS

Further exacerbating the supply issue is that only some 2/3 of the 85mn single-family homes in the country have a mortgage – the balance are mortgage free. As such, anyone seeking to move is likely facing substantially higher monthly payments given the significant increase in both home prices and mortgage rates. While the public homebuilders are doing their best to increase the supply of available for-sale homes, the existing home market represents the bulk of annual home sales (85%-90%). An additional contributor to this lack of supply is the significantly higher homeownership rate among people older than 55 (Fig. 6). It is likely that there is a significantly higher proportion of low to no mortgage debt on homes owned by these households. In addition, there is an increasing trend of aging in place for longer among many households.

3) Will home prices head higher or lower in 2024? The challenge in definitively answering this question is the diametrically opposed forces of lack of supply vs extended unaffordability. As can be seen in Fig. 8, existing singlefamily home prices rose substantially during the pandemic as many people decamped large, dense cities for larger homes in less dense, more affordable areas. The outsized increase in prices combined with the declining affordability referenced in Figs. 1 and 2 has resulted in a substantial decline in existing home sales. The pace of further price appreciation is predicated on a number of factors including, but not limited to, 1) the future direction of mortgage rates, 2) the potential for a recession, 3) a change in lending standards/ policy changes from the Federal Reserve, FHFA and other

banking regulators, 4) the level of existing home inventory and 5) the rent/buy calculus.

Fig 9 - Quarterly bank CRE lending trends 2Q 2015 – 2Q 2023 - $MM

Based on our outlook for higher-for-longer interest rates and the attendant dearth of available inventory, we believe there is the potential for a modest increase in home prices in 2024. At a minimum we believe the supply/demand fundamentals are likely to help mitigate a significant decline in prices. It is crucial to emphasize that our comments are predicated on a broad, national outlook and local market dynamics could substantially impact the outlook for home prices in a given metro.

In addition to bank CRE mortgage lending, the public REITs have been able to access the capital markets, something that was quite different during the global financial crisis when the capital markets were completely shut. Although capital raising is down from 2020/2021 levels (Fig. 10) the fact that REITs can access both equity and unsecured debt is an incremental positive for CRE.

4) Is the worst yet to come for commercial real estate? Pursuant to the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank earlier in 2023 as well as challenges at several other banks, two of the most frequent headlines that have dominated the media are “commercial real estate is the next shoe to drop” and “this will be a repeat of 2008/2009.” We do not dispute that there is likely to be an increase in the amount of distressed CRE debt and properties going forward. Without minimizing the impact of distress on existing investors we believe there are several factors that differentiate the current cycle from the 2008/2009 global financial crisis (GFC). Bank lending has slowed but has not been shut off. As can be seen in Fig. 9, the pace of lending by banks to CRE has slowed from the torrid pace preceding the Federal Reserve’s tightening cycle. However, this marks a key difference from the GFC when banks completely shut off lending and were canceling existing lines of credit. We do not wish to oversell this as much of the bank lending is going to existing relationships. However, as banks account for some 50% of total outstanding CRE loans, this channel remaining open is crucial for the CRE market.

Private equity is currently sitting on USD 420bn of unlevered dry powder with some USD 340bn targeted to CRE debt, distressed, opportunistic and value-add investments (Fig 11). Assuming conservative leverage of 50%, this represents USD 840bn of potential buying power.

Digging a bit deeper into the data, the top 10 and 25 funds are currently sitting on dry powder targeted to CRE debt, distressed, opportunistic and value-add investments of USD 72.4bn and USD 92.3bn (41.7% and 53.2%), respectively (Fig. 12). In addition, for the top 10 and 25 funds, this dry powder represents 87.8% and 81% of total assets under management, respectively. In our view, the significant level of dry powder concentrated in the hands of larger funds that have significant operational resources and multiple avenues of capital access will likely be well positioned to transact more aggressively as distressed debt and assets hit the market, thus potentially limiting the downside impact. We should also emphasize that the above figures only pertain to funds targeted to US-based investments.

In addition to the funds currently in the market, 294 additional funds have either been announced or are in the process of fund raising. According to data from CoStar and Preqin, these funds are targeting almost USD 111bn in capital. At 50% leverage, this represents and additional USD 220bn in potential buying power assuming all the capital is raised.

5) Could office conversion be an answer to housing supply in big cities? On its face this appears to be an optimal solution to mitigate two significant problems. However, the reality is likely to be far less encouraging. We are quite cognizant of the challenges of converting office space to residential. Whether it is floor plates that are too large, ceiling heights that are too low (particularly older office buildings), windows that do not open, plumbing that is not conducive to individual apartment units, etc., developers would, in many cases, need to buy the building for land value (or less) to make a conversion economical and earn a reasonable riskadjusted return. In addition, it is highly likely that developer tax incentives at the local/state level as well as re-zoning and floor-to-area (FAR) adjustments will be necessary to make office-to-residential conversions viable. A number of real estate developers and advisory firms have pegged the conversion potential at 10-15% of existing office stock. It should be emphasized that this will vary significantly by city as building age, zoning rules and tax incentives differ broadly. 6) Where could we see the best opportunities in real estate right now? Among the more attractive real estate opportunities we see in real estate that we believe will bear fruit over the next several years include: 1) Distressed debt - Although we agree that increased distress is highly likely in many parts of the CRE sector, we are reminded of one of the first lessons we were taught in finance 101 – that is distinguishing between operational and financial distress. A sizeable portion of the office market is facing operational distress given hybrid work, smaller office footprints for many tenants, a flight to quality assets and intra-US migratory patterns. As such, investor interest in “catching a falling knife” in order to recapitalize these assets is likely to be low. Conversely, we believe many CRE assets that are currently facing, or likely to face financial challenges are generally solid assets located in good markets. This is likely to be a source of significant opportunity for all the dry powder on the sidelines discussed previously. Although likely negative for existing investors in these assets, we believe increased distress provides a very attractive riskadjusted return opportunity for patient capital with a multiyear horizon. In many cases we believe savvy distresseddebt investors can achieve equity-like returns while investing higher up the capital structure. 2) Multifamily – We believe the multifamily (MF) sector has a bright outlook over the next several years largely driven by favorable demographic trends and a housing market that is largely unaffordable (as we discussed previously). The prime rental cohort is between the ages of 25-39. As can be seen

05

if Fig. 13, that demographic represents 67.8mn people. In addition, as we noted in Fig. 6, the homeownership rate for this age cohort is 30+ percentage points below the national average.

Fig. 13 – US Population segmentation between the ages of 20-49

cost of capital for developers, we believe that a significant portion of those permitted units that have not been started may be shelved for quite some time. As such, it is possible that the new supply “tsunami” could be less negatively impactful than currently thought.

Another interesting demographic factor supporting the MF investment thesis is the 6.9mn people between the ages of 25-34 that are still living at home (Fig. 14). As these people move out of their parent’s homes, we believe a significant portion of them will opt to rent, at least initially.

The MF bears will point to the substantial new capacity additions the sector is facing. We are very cognizant of the negative impacts new capacity can have on net effective rent growth and do not wish to minimize the impact it is likely to have. That said, we would make several observations: 1) the number of units under construction has peaked on both an absolute and as a percentage of inventory basis and is already declining (Fig. 15); 2) national absorption trends appear to have stabilized, at least for now (Fig. 16); 3) starts have peaked and are declining (Fig. 17); and 4) the number of permitted units not started as a percentage of total permitted units has increased meaningfully since 1Q 2021 (Fig. 18). Given the very stringent lending standards, particularly for new development as well as the elevated

Fig. 21 – Industrial rent/square foot trends 3) Industrial/warehouse - Same as it (almost) ever was Aside from office we believe the most controversial sector among investors coming into 2023 was industrial. This is not because the fundamentals are bad (quite the opposite) but that things could not get any better and would likely soften. We do not disagree that the incredible rent growth the industrial sector has experienced over the past several years cannot go on forever. However, we believe that the sector is much better positioned over the next several years than the bears believe and, in our opinion, the Q2 results from the industrial REITs largely supported our view. The bears will point to vacancy rates that have increased approximately 100 bps from the all-time lows achieved in 2Q 2022 (Fig. 19) and that absorption rates declined meaningfully from the same point (Fig. 20). In addition, the bears will point to the data in Fig. 21 as supportive of their argument that rental growth rates are slowing. Fig. 19 – Industrial vacancy rate trends

Source: CoStar, UBS

We do not dispute any of these points as they are factual. However, we would make several observations: 1) the peak rent growth rates of some 12% were far above any level the industrial sector ever achieved and came during a unique period driven by the pandemic-induced dislocations; 2) at a current rent growth rate of 9% the sector would still be far ahead of its long-term averages; 3) although it is certainly possible that YOY rent growth rates could decline further, we would point to the data in Fig. 22 which points to a peak in the rate of new supply in 3Q 2022 and the subsequent downward trend in new construction.

Housing Market Indicators Monthly Update

September 2023 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development National housing market indicators available as of September showed overall activity in housing markets slowed. Trends in some of the top indicators for this month include: •

Purchases of new homes fell. New single-family home sales declined 8.7 percent to 675,000 units (SAAR) in August from an upwardly revised pace of 739,000 in July but were 5.8 percent higher year-over-year (y/y). Sales rose in the Northeast but declined in the Midwest, South, and West Census regions. New home sales are based on purchase agreements, unlike existing home sales which are based on closings. Note that monthly data on new home sales tend to be volatile. (Sources: HUD and Census Bureau)

•

Existing home sales fell slightly. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) reported that August sales of existing homes (including single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and cooperatives) slipped 0.7 percent to 4.04 million units (SAAR) from 4.07 million in July and were down 15.3 percent y/y. Purchases rose in the Midwest, remained the same in the Northeast, and declined in the South and West Census regions. Because existing home sales are based on closings, August sales reflect contract signings in June and July. Month-to-month (m/m) house prices have increased modestly in the last several months, but mortgage rates have trended up recently, and inventories of existing homes for sale are still lean.

•

Construction of new single-family homes declined. Single-family housing starts, at 941,000 units (SAAR) in August, decreased 4.3 percent m/m from 983,000 units in July but were 2.4 percent higher y/y. Multifamily housing starts (5+ units in a structure), at 334,000 units (SAAR), dropped 26.3 percent m/m from 453,000 units in July and were 41.0 percent lower y/y. Note that m/m changes in multifamily starts are often volatile. (Sources: HUD, Census Bureau)

•

Annual house prices accelerated in June, with annual increases ranging from 0.1 percent to 4.6 percent. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) seasonally adjusted (SA) purchase-only house price index for July estimated that home values rose 0.8 percent m/m and 4.6 percent y/y, up from an annual gain of 3.2 percent in June. The non-SA CoreLogic Case-Shiller® 20-City Home Price Index, posted a 0.6 percent m/m increase (0.9 percent SA) in home values in July and a 0.1 percent y/y gain, a reversal of the 1.2 percent annual decline in June. Mortgage financing has become more expensive as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, a process that began in April 2022. House prices peaked in June 2022 and began to decline modestly but that trend has reversed itself recently. The FHFA (SA) index is now 4.1 percent

above its previous June 2022 peak and the Case-Shiller index now stands at 0.6 percent (SA) below its June peak. (Both price indices are released with a 2-month lag.) •

The inventory of homes for sale rose for new homes but fell for existing homes. The listed inventory of new homes for sale, at 436,000 units at the end of August, was up 1.2 percent m/m but down 5.2 percent y/y. That inventory would support 7.8 months of sales at the current sales pace, up from 7.0 months in July. Available existing homes for sale, at 1.10 million units in August, slipped 0.9 percent m/m and were down 14.1 percent y/y. That inventory represents a 3.3-month supply, the same as the previous month because both inventory and sales declined slightly. The long-term average for months’ supply of homes on the market is 6.0 months.

•

In the second quarter of 2023, homeowners’ equity increased after declining for three consecutive quarters; the number of underwater borrowers declined. The Federal Reserve estimated that homeowners’ equity (total property value less mortgage debt outstanding) rose 8.0 percent, or $2.34 trillion, from the first quarter of 2023 and now stands at more than $31.6 trillion. Owners’ equity peaked in the second quarter of 2022 at $32.2 trillion and declined more than $2.9 trillion over the subsequent three quarters. Changes in home prices are the primary driver of gains or losses in equity. For the second quarter of 2023, CoreLogic estimated the number of underwater borrowers (those who owe more on their mortgage than the value of their home) decreased by 75,000 from the first quarter to 1.111 million, or 2.0 percent of residential properties with a mortgage, but were 47,000 greater than one year ago.

•

Forbearance on mortgage loans continued to decline. The MBA Forbearance Survey indicates the share of homeowners with mortgages in forbearance was 0.33 percent (165,000 households) in August, down from 0.39 percent in July and 0.72 percent (362,000 households) one year ago. The forbearance rate was only 0.25 percent of all home loans in the beginning of March 2020, before the economic effects of the COVID pandemic began to be felt.

•

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) has reached its highest level in nearly 23 years. The average weekly 30-year FRM was 7.31 percent the week ending September 28, up from a high of 7.23 percent the week ending August 24 the previous month. The mortgage rate rose steadily in 2022 as the Fed increased interest rates, reaching a high of 7.08 percent in November 2022 and then trended down to a low of 6.09 percent in February 2023 as inflation appeared to be retreating. Indications of ongoing economic strength have recently put upward pressure on mortgage rates. (Source: Freddie Mac)

Notes on Methodology

Mortgage Rates (30-Yr FRM)

Weekly

Freddie Mac

As reported for 30-year fixed rate mortgages (FRM). See note in Section C for basis of rates as of November 2022.

Homeownership Affordability

Monthly

National Association of REALTORS® NAR’s Housing Affordability (Fixed Rate) Index as reported. A value of 100 means that a family with the median income has exactly enough income to qualify for a mortgage on a median-priced home. An index above 100 signifies that a family earning the median income has more than enough income to qualify.

Rental Affordability

Quarterly

HUD

HUD’s Rental Affordability Index measures whether a typical renter household has enough income to qualify for a lease on a typical rental home at the national level based on the most recent price and income data. A typical renter household is one that earns median income and a typical rental home is a median-priced rental unit. It is assumed that a renter household can qualify for a lease if the annual rent is not greater than 30 percent of the renter household’s annual income. A value of 100 means that a renter household with median income has exactly enough income to qualify for a lease on a medianpriced rental home. An index value above 100 signifies that a household earning the median income of renter households has more than enough income to qualify. For more information on HUD’s rental affordability index and methodology, see the Second Quarter 2016 issue of HUD’s National Housing Market Summary on their U.S. Housing Market Conditions website: http://www.huduser.gov/portal/ ushmc/home.html.

CoreLogic Case-Shiller (NSA)

FHFA monthly (purchase-only) index for U.S., January 1991 = 100.

CoreLogic - Excluding Distressed Sales (NSA)

Monthly

CoreLogic

CoreLogic national combined index, distressed sales excluded, January 2000 = 100. (Only available as NSA). Also see additional note in Section C below on the CoreLogic HPI.

New

Monthly

HUD and Census Bureau

Seasonally adjusted annual rates. A newly constructed house is considered sold when either a sales contract has been signed or a deposit accepted, even if this occurs before construction has actually started.

Existing

Monthly

National Association of REALTORS® Seasonally adjusted annual rates. Existing-home sales—which include single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops—are based on transaction closings. This differs from the U.S. Census Bureau’s series on new single-family home sales, which are based on contracts or the acceptance of a deposit.

First-Time Buyers

Monthly

NAR, Census Bureau, and HUD

Sum of seasonally adjusted new and existing home sales (above) multiplied by National Association of REALTORS® annual estimate of first-time buyer share of existing home sales.

Distressed Sales (NSA)

Monthly

CoreLogic

Short sales and REO (Real Estate Owned) sales as a percentage of total existing home sales (current month subject to revision).

Total (SAAR)

Monthly

HUD and Census Bureau

Housing starts are divided into three components: single-family, multifamily, and two-to-four unit structures. Start of construction occurs when excavation begins for the footings or foundation of a building. As of September 1992, housing starts include units being totally rebuilt on an existing foundation.

Single-Family (SAAR)

Monthly

HUD and Census Bureau

Single-family housing includes fully detached, semi-detached (semi-attached, side-by-side), townhouses, and row houses. For attached units, each must be separated from the adjacent unit by a ground-to-roof firewall to be classified as a single-family structure. Also, these units must not share common facilities (i.e., heating/air-conditioning systems, plumbing, attic, or basement). Units built one on top of another and those built side-by-side that do not have a ground-to-roof firewall or have common facilities are not considered single-family units.

Multifamily (SAAR)

Monthly

HUD and Census Bureau

Multifamily housing has five or more units in a structure.

Also see additional note below in Section C on the CoreLogic HPI. 2. Reported seasonally adjusted annual rates for new and existing home sales. 3. A comparison of the affordability of renting a home to purchasing a home. HUD’s Quarterly Rental Affordability Index is compared to NAR’s Composite Quarterly Affordability Index. See note in Section A on Rental Affordability. 4. Filings of a notice of default or scheduled foreclosure auction, depending on which action starts the foreclosure process in a state, are reported for foreclosure starts. Foreclosure completions are properties entering REO. Both as reported by ATTOM Data Solutions (formerly RealtyTrac). 5. FHA market shares are FHA purchase and refinance originations divided by HUD estimates of purchase and refinance mortgage originations, as noted in “Mortgage Originations” above. See additional note below on FHA market share. 6. See notes in Section A on renter and homeowner households’ ability to make rental or mortgage payments. The results represent a “No” in response to the question, “Is this household currently caught up on their rent or mortgage payment?” Results prior to the two-week period ending August 31, 2020, are not presented because the survey question then was, “Did you pay your last month’s rent or mortgage payment on time?” 7. See notes in Section A on renter and homeowner households fearful of eviction or foreclosure. For renter households, the results represent a “Very Likely” or “Somewhat Likely” response to the question, “How likely is it that your household will have to leave this home or apartment within the next two months because of eviction?” For homeowner households, the results represent a “Very Likely” or “Somewhat Likely” response to the question, “How likely is it that your household will have to leave this home within the next two months because of foreclosure?”

SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY

As of November 17, 2022, Freddie Mac no longer surveys lenders, but instead, bases its mortgage rate estimates on thousands of applications received from lenders and submitted to Freddie Mac when a borrower applies for a mortgage. Beginning in May 2019, NAR replaced its Monthly Composite Housing Affordability Index (HAI), which was based on 30-year fixed rate mortgages (FRM) and adjustable rate mortgages (ARM), with a Fixed HAI based only on the 30-year fixed rate mortgage. Black Knight enhanced their database as of December 2017 data, increasing their database coverage by nearly 1 million additional loans through several new contributors and improved coverage of certain types of data. In addition, HUD added filters to make sure all FHA and VA loans were excluded from the data to ensure reporting of only conventional loans. The November 2017 changes in reported data are mainly due to the additional filters. FHA market share estimates were based on new methodology beginning with the October 2013 report; estimates were revised back through Q1 2011. See the FHA Market Share report on their website for an explanation of the new methodology: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/rmra/oe/rpts/fhamktsh/fhamktqtrly. The estimate for first-time buyers was 26 percent for 2022, based on NAR’s 2022 annual report, A Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. The estimate was down sharply from 34 percent for 2021 with the October 2021 release of findings from their annual survey and the lowest rate since NAR began tracking the data in 1981. The annual reporting of first-time buyers differs from NAR’s monthly REALTORS® Confidence Index survey because the annual survey, for the most part, represents purchases of homes by owner-occupants and does not include purchases by investors, as in the monthly survey. CoreLogic’s House Price Index (HPI) estimates are based on new methodology beginning with their June 2016 report, which includes data through April 2016. A variety of modeling and other enhancements to their HPI and its forecast, including a 14-percent expansion in the number of transaction pairs, were made. MBA switched to reporting monthly forbearance data in place of weekly data starting November 2021. Data for Week 61, the first Pulse Survey of Phase 3.10, started August 23, 2023 and continues through October 30, 2023. During Phase 3.10, data collection will continue with the sequence of every other two weeks. The BLS Consumer Population Survey/Housing Vacancy Survey (CPS/HVS) is conducted by the Census Bureau and collects data on indicators used in this report, including the homeownership rate, housing units held off market, and housing rental prices. The Bureau views the 2Q 2020 through 2Q 2021 period as a break in series because COVID-19 prevented normal data collection procedures. The Census Bureau suspended in-person interviews on March 20, 2020 and conducted the survey for the rest of the first quarter and the entirety of the second quarter solely by telephone interviews. In-person interviews were incrementally added back in the subsequent four quarters with respective rates of 63, 94, 98, and 99 percent of in-person interviews allowed. Normal data collection procedures resumed in Q3 2021 with less than one-half of one percent of in-person interviews restricted. As an example of the break in series, the national homeownership rate, at 65.3 percent in the first quarter of 2020, was estimated to have jumped to 67.9 in the second quarter of 2020 and decline to 65.4 percent by the second quarter of 2021. The changes in survey methods likely contributed to the sharp increase and following decline in the homeownership rate during that time period.

REALTORS® CONFIDENCE INDEX SURVEY

National Association of REALTORS® Research Group

August 2023

REALTORS® CONFIDENCE INDEX SURVEY Homes typically received 3.2 offers, 72% sold within one month, and 31% sold above list price. The Market Outlook from the REALTORS® Confidence Index for buyers and sellers declined slightly in August 2023: • 11% of respondents expect a year-over-year increase in buyer traffic in the next three months, down from 13% one month ago and flat from one year ago. • 10% of respondents expect a year-over-year increase in seller traffic in the next three months, a slight decrease from last month at 10% and down from 12% in August 2022. With supply still limited relative to demand, 31% of homes sold above list price, down from 35% last month and down slightly from 32% a year ago: • 72% of respondents reported that properties sold in less than one month. Down slightly from 74% a month ago and down from 81% in August 2022. • Homes listed received an average of 3.2 offers, up slightly from 3.0 last month and up from 2.5 offers in August 2022. • Due to the lack of housing inventory, the pace of the market, and the use of technology, 7% of buyers purchased a home based only on a virtual tour, showing, or open house without physically seeing the home. Down slightly from one month ago and virtually unchanged from one year ago. Contracts typically closed in 30 days, the same as last month and one year ago. But some faced delays or termination: • 5% of contracts were terminated in the last three months, about the same as one month and down from one year ago. • 14% of contracts had delayed settlements in the past three months, unchanged from last month and down slightly from 15% a year ago. • 7% of contracts had delayed settlement due to appraisal issues, virtually unchanged from last month and one year ago. First-time buyers represented 29% of buyers, down slightly from 30% in July 2023 and flat from 29% in August 2022. Among all buyers: • 16% purchased for non-primary residence use, unchanged from last month and one year ago. • 5% were purchased for vacation use, flat from one month ago and down slightly from 7% one year ago. • 1% of sellers sold to an iBuyer, similar to one month and one year ago. • 1% of sales were distressed, flat from one month and one year ago. Contract activity remains competitive: • 27% of buyers had all-cash sales, up slightly from 26% last month and up from 24% in August 2022. • 23% of buyers waived the inspection contingency, down from 26% one month ago and virtually unchanged from 22% one year ago. • 22% of buyers waived the appraisal contingency, flat from one month and one year ago. Buyers continue to look outside of city centers for the majority of their activity at 86%.

conditions based on their client interactions and the characteristics of their most recent sales for the month.

• The August 2023 survey was sent to 50,000 REALTORS® who were selected from NAR’s more than 1.5 million members through simple random sampling and to 4,664 respondents in the previous three surveys who provided their email addresses.

• There were 1,629 respondents to the online survey, which ran from

September 1-15, 2023, of which 871 had a client in the last month. Among those who had a client, the survey’s maximum margin of error for proportion estimates is nearly 3% at the 95 percent confidence level.
