Recognizing Top Producers

Sales Staff Paula Bell Paul Nicholas

Office Administrator Cynthia Bell Snow Salt Lake Board: (801) 542-8840 e-mail: dave@saltlakeboard.com Web Site: www.slrealtors.com The Salt Lake Board of REALTORS® is pledged to the letter and spirit of U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support the affirmative advertising and marketing program in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. The Salt Lake REALTOR® is the monthly magazine of the Salt Lake Board of REALTORS®. Opinions expressed by writers and persons quoted in articles are their own and do not necessarily reflect positions of the Salt Lake Board of REALTORS®. Permission will be granted in most cases, upon written request, to reprint or reproduce articles and photographs in this issue, provided proper credit is given to The Salt Lake REALTOR®, as well as to any writers and photographers whose names appear with the articles and photographs. While unsolicited original manuscripts and photographs related to the real estate profession are welcome, no payment is made for their use in the publication.

Congratulations, Realtor® 500 members! This group represents our Board’s top producers, as measured by total sales volume reported to UtahRealEstate.com. This is the fourth annual celebration of the Realtor® 500. With membership of Salt Lake Board of Realtors® at an all-time high, making the list is a remarkable accomplishment. The concept for the Realtor® 500 was developed to recognize more members. The previous awards event recognized just a handful of individuals in narrow categories. The Realtor® 500 recognizes many more members of our association who are top producers. There is no application process for the Realtor® 500 Award. Instead of choosing winners from a small pool of applicants, member-agents qualify based on annual sales dollar volume reported under the primary agent’s name. To make the Realtor® 500 list, agents needed a minimum total sales volume of roughly $12 million in 2021. That is up from 2020, when the minimum total sales volume of was nearly $10 million. It is also a big increase from the $6.6 million threshold in 2018, when the Realtor® 500 first started. An important benefit of the Realtor® 500 is the increasing accuracy of UtahRealEstate.com, our multiple listing service. The award incentivizes members to report information to UtahRealEstate.com. As a result of the increased reporting, our MLS has become stronger and more accurate, which improves our statistical data and ultimately benefits the consumer. UtahRealEstate.com is one of the leading multiple listing services in the nation and has helped millions of people realize the dream of homeownership. One final thought: while sales may be a driving force for why we are in this profession, it is important to remember that high sales volume is not the defining attribute of a successful Realtor®. Service to our clients, professionalism, communication, and skillful navigation of the real estate transaction are paramount. The real estate profession offers many opportunities for everyone. Congratulations again!

Steve Perry President

Happenings

In the News Income Needed to Afford a Salt Lake Home In a matter of six years, the annual income needed in order to afford the median-priced home in Salt Lake County has nearly doubled, according to a recent story in the Deseret News. In 2015, the median-priced home in Salt Lake County cost about $248,400. The annual income required to buy a home with that price tag was about $58,100, the article said, citing data provided by the Salt Lake Board of Realtors®.

Median Single-Family Home Price Sets New Record The median single-family home price in Salt Lake County climbed to $575,000 in December, a new monthly high and 28% higher than prices a year ago. Multi-family home prices also set a record in December, rising to $405,500, a 22% increase from December 2020. A new report by the Salt Lake Board of Realtors® projects that single-family home prices in 2022 will reach $600,000, a 12% increase over the 2021 median home price.

Big Increase in the Percentage of Homes Selling for More Than $500,000 The percentage of Wasatch Front homes selling below $500,000 fell to 62% in 2021, a dramatic decline from 2020 when 81% of home sales were below the half-million-dollar mark. Homes selling from $500,000 to $999,999 increased to 34% of market share, up from 17% in 2020. The share of million-dollar home sales increased to 4% of overall sales, up from 2% in 2020. The 2021 Utah housing market will be long remembered for its recordbreaking price increases. Statewide, housing prices increased by 27%, shattering the 43-year-old record of 20.1% set in 1978.

10 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | February 2022

“Now fast forward to 2021. Homebuyers needed to earn over $100,000 a year — $101,400 — in order to afford Salt Lake County’s median-priced home of $460,000, the board said in a report released in January,” according to the story. “The 2021 Salt Lake and Utah housing markets will be long remembered for their recordbreaking price increases,” according to the report. Twenty-four of Utah’s 29 counties had double-digit gains. In 2021, Utah’s 700,000 homeowners realized an increase in the home equity (wealth) of at least $82 billion. Utah and the Salt Lake City metro area remain high on the nation’s list of hot housing markets. The Salt Lake City metro area ranked No. 6 in highest house-price increases among the nation’s top 100 metro areas through the third quarter of 2021, with 28.1% year-over-year growth in prices, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Housing prices in the Salt Lake City area are now higher than 87% of all major U.S. metropolitan areas.

Board Awards iPad at Forecast Breakfast Linda Burtch, a Realtor® with Keller Williams, was randomly selected to receive a new Apple iPad at the annual Salt Lake Housing Forecast Breakfast in January. Attendees at the event who made an investment in the Realtors® Political Action Committee (RPAC) were eligible for the prize. The Salt Lake Board of Realtors® is No. 1 per capita in RPAC investments by its members compared to other mega associations in the country.

Five Enduring Traits from a Navy SEAL That Can Help You Succeed in Life The hardest part of combat is not getting shot at, according to Robert O’Neill. The hardest part is kissing your kid goodbye. By Dave Anderton What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done in your life? For Robert O’Neill, former United States Navy SEAL (1996–2012), it wasn’t jumping out of airplanes at 25,000 feet, or fighting Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean, or raiding Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan. “The hardest part of combat is not getting shot at. It’s not having stuff blow up next to you,” said O’Neill who was the keynote speaker at this year’s Realtor® 500 event. “The hardest part is kissing your kid goodbye. There’s a huge difference between kissing your kid goodnight and kissing your kid goodbye.” O’Neill should know, he took part in more than 400 combat missions, including the clandestine bin Laden raid, where O’Neill fired the shots that killed bin Laden, the mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks which left nearly 3,000 Americans dead.

2.

3.

O’Neill, along with 22 other SEALs, took part in the bin Laden mission. Most believed that it would be their last mission. If they knew they we were going to die, why did they go? For O’Neill, the mission wasn’t about fame or bravado. “It was for the single mom who dropped her kids off at an elementary school on a Tuesday and 45 minutes later jumped to her death out of a skyscraper because that was a better alternative than burning in a 2,500-degree fire,” O’Neill said. “We went because of the first Americans to fight al Qaeda on Flight 93.”

4.

While most people will never become a SEAL or experience combat, there are five enduring traits every SEAL learns that can help anyone succeed in life. 1.

Never Quit SEAL training is intense. “SEAL training really doesn’t have a lot to do with how big and how strong and how fast you are,” retired SEAL Adm. Bill McRaven said in a PBS interview. “There’s only one thing you have to do in SEAL training. And that’s not quit.” The odds of a person completing SEAL training are not favorable: 1 in 4. Each year, about 1,000 recruits make it to SEAL training. About 250 complete their training. Since being in the private sector, O’Neill said he has seen people nearly reach a long-term goal. “They have a bad day and throw their hands in the air and quit,” he said. “You are not having a bad life. You are having a bad day. I would tell my guys even in combat, ‘Don’t react. Do respond.’ And the most important thing

5.

is no matter what we never quit.” When you feel like quitting, O’Neill added, just remember that’s emotion speaking. “Quit tomorrow. If you can keep quitting tomorrow, you can do anything in life.” Teamwork O’Neill credited the success of SEAL Team Six to simply being good to one another. “We made sure that people wanted to be at work, that people felt they were part of the team,” he said. “We were good because we knew the difference between over planning and being prepared. When you make your plan God laughs at you. Life happens around you as you’re planning.” Pay Attention to the Small Stuff When O’Neill began his SEAL training, an instructor offered this motivational advice for getting through the eight months of training and torture. “Wake up in the morning on time, make your bed the right way, and then brush your teeth. That’s three victories,” the instructor said. “Make it to the 5 a.m. workout on time. As I’m beating you, don’t think about the pain. I want you to concentrate on your next goal in life. And that’s breakfast. After breakfast make it to lunch. After lunch make it to dinner. After dinner, do everything you need to do to get back inside that perfectly made bed because you took the time in the morning to make your bed the right way regardless of how bad today was. Tomorrow is a clean slate. Tomorrow is a fresh start.” Complacency Kills What is complacency? The dictionary defines it as a feeling of smug or uncritical satisfaction with oneself or one’s achievements. What causes complacency? According to O’Neill, complacency is a result of success. Too much complacency and you’ll find yourself embracing a mentality of “this is the way we’ve always done it,” and over time you will lose your competitive edge. There is always a more efficient or better way to do something, O’Neill added. Don’t rest on your laurels. Sense of Humor If you can’t laugh at yourself you are going to lose your mind, O’Neill said. “That’s important to remember in life. Don’t be afraid to wake up in the morning and have a smile, give someone a hug and a kiss. Enjoy yourself. None of us are getting out of this alive.”

Why the Wasatch Front Real Estate Market is Getting Even Tougher Prices shot up by about 25% with sales plunging by 45%. By Tony Semerad Home sales across the Wasatch Front went from bad to worse last year as housing prices rocketed from high to higher and the supply slumped from thin to thinner.

COVID-19, has since been accentuated by lower interest rates, more people moving to the suburbs and out-ofstaters pouring in.

New data from the Salt Lake Board of Realtors shows a yearlong sales slowdown deepened in late fall, due partly to the pandemic. Nearly half the number of existing single-family homes changed hands in October, November and December compared with the year before, with sales dropping 45% across the five-county region centered on Salt Lake County.

New numbers show an average one-year price gain for single-family homes of 23.9% in Salt Lake County; 25.5% in Utah County; 26.5% in Tooele County; 23.9% in Weber County; and 24.9% in Davis County.

Demand is there, just not the homes to sell. In places like Salt Lake City’s downtown and Central City neighborhoods, Taylorsville, portions of Lindon, Orem and Provo, and Centerville in Davis County, sales fell by 60% or more as depleted inventories and a regional housing shortage frustrated many would-be buyers. Prices also smashed records in several locales as they continued a steady upward climb that has pushed large portions of Utah’s housing stock out of reach for those earning what are average wages by state standards. That persistent trend, which well preceded the onset of

“There is still such high demand, but it’s putting firsttime homebuyers even further away from getting into homes,” said Steve Perry, incoming president for the Salt Lake Board of Realtors® and chief operating officer with Presidio Real Estate, headquartered in Pleasant Grove. “The low inventory is making such a big difference,” said Perry, noting a record dearth of active listings, also down by double digits from last year. Data shows the average home for sale was on the market for between 18 and 23 days depending on the county, sharply below just a year ago. Anecdotally, real estate agents say some listings are snapped up in at little as four days, some with cash offers $100,000 or more above asking price.

And with the prospect of a rise in interest rates and the higher mortgage payments that go along with them, Perry said, more residents are likely to be priced out of homeownership or a chance to move up from starter homes.

Typically more affordable than single-family homes, condominiums and town homes are also seeing big leaps in median sale prices, with year-over-year gains ranging from 13.2% in Tooele County to as high as 37.7% in Utah County.

Prevailing estimates are that home prices across the state will grow by at least another 8% to 12% in the coming year, with no longer term slowdown in sight.

That has pushed median condo price as high as $451,952 in Utah County’s American Fork, though the median price countywide was $378,689. Salt Lake County’s median condo price stood at $395,000, with the highest in Emigration Canyon, at about $550,000.

That overall picture and the state’s estimated deficit of at least 40,000 affordable homes have lifted the issue on many political agendas this year on Utah’s Capitol Hill. “If you have talked to anybody lately, they all feel it,” state Rep. Steve Waldrip, R-Eden, told fellow lawmakers recently as he introduced one of a series of housingrelated bills. “Every income bracket of the market is an issue that we are facing increasing pressure on.” The median home price in Utah County’s Alpine — which topped $1 million in early fall — inched up to $1.278 million as last year closed, making it the Wasatch Front’s most expensive ZIP code. Draper had some of Salt Lake County’s highest prices, with the median for a single-family home there reaching $790,790 in the fourth quarter of 2021. South Jordan carried the second-highest prices in Utah’s most populous county, at $765,000. In Weber County’s Huntsville, median prices jumped from $535,000 in late 2020 to $817,500 at the end of 2021, a 52.8% gain. Davis County’s top median price was in Farmington, at $598,750, while in Tooele County, the median price of homes in Stockton led the way at $565,000 — up 28.5% over the year before. 32 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | February 2022

As it did with single-family homes, Huntsville had Weber County’s priciest condos in the fourth quarter, at a staggering $770,000, while that county’s median condo price was $320,000. Median condo prices were $355,500 in Davis County, according to new data, and $288,750 in Tooele County. At the other end of the price spectrum, Salt Lake County’s least expensive single-family homes were in Ballpark and the west side’s Rose Park and Glendale neighborhoods. In Davis County, Clearfield, Layton and Woods Cross had the lowest prices. Tooele County’s relative bargains were spread widely across the 84074 ZIP code, spanning Lake Point, Stansbury Park, Erda and the city of Tooele. Utah County’s lowest median home prices were in Goshen, east of Interstate 15 in Provo, and Payson. And, in Weber County, the least expensive homes were found in Farr West, South Ogden and Roy.

2022 Economic Outlook: Take the Good with the Bad The initial relief brought by lower interest rates is wiped out by higher prices, especially impacting first-time buyers. By Lawrence Yun “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” Those are the words of Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities as he described the times surrounding the monumental French Revolution. In many ways, Dickens’ words are applicable to the way the COVID-19 pandemic—now in a new phase with the emergence of the omicron variant—has upended our daily lives. We’ve lost more than 800,000 Americans to the virus. The employment market is improving but not back to pre-pandemic levels. Many workers have quit their jobs, and there seem to be “help wanted” signs in windows on every street in America. Inflation is quietly stealing our purchasing power. Homelessness is highly visible in major cities. Contempt for differing viewpoints is running high. 40 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | February 2022

The times right now feel like something of a revolution. Yet, there is more wealth accumulation in the country than ever before. Despite some volatility, the stock market hit new highs last year, and home prices consistently increased. Americans’ total net worth rose by $31 trillion between the onset of the pandemic and the middle of 2021, the largest hike ever in an 18-month period.

Housing Shines Bright Home sales are at their best in 15 years. Once all the data are tallied up, more than 6 million existing homes and about 800,000 newly constructed homes will have been sold in 2021—the best performance since 2006. Sales in recent months have been a bit lower compared with the same period last year, when we experienced


intense bidding wars. Still, 2021 will finish meaningfully higher than 2020, which was affected by the spring pandemic lockdown. The pandemic boosted housing demand as people sought larger homes in less crowded areas. But the magical power of low interest rates played a greater role, as it always does. Mortgage rates averaged 3.9% in 2019 but have hovered near 3% since the onset of the pandemic, helping to lower monthly mortgage payments. That interest rate drop represents about $150 per month in savings for buyers with a $300,000 loan, reducing the monthly payment from $1,415 to $1,265. However, affordability conditions are changing. Home prices have increased by 25% since March 2020. The $300,000 loan now turns into $375,000. Even with low interest rates, the monthly mortgage payment shoots up to $1,581. The initial relief brought by lower interest rates is wiped out by higher prices, especially impacting first-time buyers. That’s why first-time buyers now account for less than 30% of home sales, down from 35% in the early months of the pandemic. Current homeowners are faring much better, though, because they can use the proceeds from a home sale to buy their next property. In fact, homeowners nationwide have accumulated $5 trillion in equity during the pandemic, or around $67,000 for a typical

owner. In the super expensive San Francisco market, the typical owner has seen a large, juicy gain of $300,000. For renters in the Bay Area, it has become nearly impossible to own when the median home price has gone up to $1.3 million. The homeownership rate could, therefore, decline unless more is done to increase housing supply.

Rising Rates, Inflation Pose Challenges That is not the end of it. Mortgage rates are set to rise this year. The Federal Reserve has been in a quandary about which of two mandates it should focus on: full employment or manageable inflation. Four million fewer Americans are working compared to before the pandemic. The unemployment rate, though it’s back to normal levels, is a less important measure because those who are not searching for a job are not counted. So, the Fed should be accommodative to keep pushing the economy along. But the highest core inflation in 30 years is forcing the Fed to rethink its approach. Reducing the purchase of mortgage-backed securities and raising short-term interest rates are inevitable. The end result of these policy actions will be higher mortgage rates, around 3.7% by the end of this year. At that rate, a $375,000 loan will translate to a $1,726 monthly payment.

2022 Economic Outlook (continued from page 41) Those pondering when to become homeowners will face higher mortgage payments, putting them a step behind those who have already bought. People who purchased last year locked in an average fixed payment of $1,265, while their new next-door neighbor is paying much more. At least those new buyers, unlike renters, won’t face the prospect of annual hikes in their monthly payment. Rents accelerated in the late months of 2021, with government data showing a 5% annualized gain. Private sector data of large apartment owners indicate an even faster rent growth. Rents will rise again this year and the following year, and on and on. That’s because housing shortages are plaguing the entire country. Aside from a few data anomalies associated with the pandemic-era eviction moratorium, current rental vacancy rates are essentially at a 40-year low. That’s on top of all-time low For Sale inventory. The Fed’s inflation-fighting policies won’t contain rising costs immediately. Inflation will be with us throughout 2022. In addition to higher housing costs, meat prices have gone up by 12% as of November and gasoline prices by 50%. Perhaps, this is a hint to eat more veggies and fruits (which have risen in price by only 3%) and buy electric cars. Real estate professionals need to drive more than the general population and will not be happy about high energy prices. Rising apartment rents have boosted multifamily property prices. This may be why more investors are buying single-family properties. Home purchases for reasons other than primary occupancy rose to 17% of all transactions in October. Moreover, some investors may have looked to the past to find that real estate is a very good hedge against inflation. In the 1970s, when inflation was high, consumer prices rose by 7.1% on average per year. Home prices outperformed consumer prices with an average 9.9% annual gain. In the 1980s, as the Fed jacked up interest rates in order to kill inflation, home sales plunged—but not home prices, because rents were rising. During that decade, consumer prices and home prices rose by 5.6% and 5.5%, respectively. In subsequent decades, it was the same story: Home price growth has roughly matched or slightly outperformed consumer price inflation. The combined impact of investor purchases and repeat buyer transactions will buoy home sales in 2022, even with rising mortgage rates. Existing-home sales are expected to fall by only 2% after a nice 14% cumulative growth in the past two years. Home prices will not fall and, in fact, will rise by 4% nationally.

Commercial Rebound: What Happens to Offices? Rising rents are also happening in commercial real estate. The industrial and warehouse sectors have been strong throughout the pandemic. Online shopping and shipping needs have boosted commercial demand, rents, property prices, and construction. The retail sector is also witnessing rent hikes, though that 44 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | February 2022

constitutes a recovery after measurable declines at the onset of the pandemic. Retail sales at brick-andmortar shops have increased meaningfully from a year ago—by 14% at home furnishing stores, 16% at general merchandising stores, 26% at clothing shops, and 29% at food and beverage establishments, driven by growth in the suburbs and not in downtowns. The one commercial sector with a huge question mark is the office market. City skylines are beautifully laid out and symbolize strength and glamour—but the buildings sit mostly empty. Only around one-third to, at best, half of office buildings are being utilized, depending on the city. Office rents are mostly being paid, even if the spaces aren’t being used, because many companies are financially healthy. Nonetheless, there has been a slow, steady upward creep in office vacancy rates and a downward trend in lease rates. It is unclear if the office market can truly bounce back to pre-pandemic conditions, even when the pandemic is officially over. Office workers have demonstrated the ability to work from home. It remains to be seen whether hybrid offices will precipitate a comeback in the office sector. Rent concessions will likely continue. Repurposing office space is also a possibility, though it may require tax incentives or extra government funding.

Remote Work Opens Housing Options Only time will tell, but right now, we’re in the first inning of fully digesting the meaning of work-from-home flexibility. That means a huge number of homeowners could be “mishoused”—living in the right property before the pandemic but not anymore. Now to Hawaii: It has the worst job performance among all 50 states, with state employment 12% below prepandemic levels. Travel—both domestic and, especially, international—is just not there. Local workers are hurting. Yet, Hawaii home prices are among the highest and fastest-rising in the country. Working from home can mean working from a vacation spot. How would the boss know, and why would the boss care? Home sales in vacation resort regions like Hawaii have been exceptionally strong throughout the pandemic. All the while, homeownership in Hawaii has fallen from 61% before the pandemic to 56.6% now. It’s one illustration of the best and the worst of times in the current age.

The Double Trouble of the Housing Market Since 2019, home prices rose nearly 30 percent. A typical U.S. home is about $80,000 more expensive than pre-pandemic. By The National Association of Realtors® and Realtor.com® Two in three renters cannot afford to buy a home; one in two renters pay more than 30 percent of their income for rent due to rising rental costs. And it’s getting worse. Home prices continue to rise to record highs, eroding affordability even further. Since 2019, home prices rose nearly 30 percent. As a result, a typical home is about $80,000 more expensive than pre-pandemic. Wages may have also increased but not anywhere near the pace of the home prices. This means that potential buyers need to spend more of their 48 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | February 2022

budget on housing in order to buy the typical home now compared to 2019. Meanwhile, inventory of homes for sale dropped significantly in the last couple of years, reaching record lows in 2021. In fact, there was a housing shortage even before the pandemic hit in 2020. There are currently only around 1 million units available for sale compared to near 4 million homes available for sale in 2007. This translates to fewer options for homebuyers leading to multiple offers and competition in the housing market.

So, “two troubles” are happening simultaneously: record high home prices and record low inventory. NAR Research and Realtor.com® partnered to do an analysis of affordability at different income levels for all active inventory on the market. Specifically, the report looks at this dual phenomenon across the country and the 100 largest metro areas, comparing the number of available homes that people at any income level can afford to buy now and pre-pandemic. Connecting affordability with currently available housing supply is what makes this analysis unique. Specifically, this analysis differs from previous research and measures on affordability: 1. It considers affordability for all income percentiles, not just median income. While looking at the median family income is a good representation of the middle of the market, the situation for those with incomes above or below the median family income can look quite different. 2. It looks at affordability of active inventory or homes currently available for sale instead of homes that have already sold. Thus, these are real-time listings. Most affordability indexes use home sales prices to determine housing affordability, so they are backward-looking. Using active inventory, we know what is affordable among homes currently available for buyers to put an offer on. 3. It connects the “two troubles” of the housing market. Rising prices erode affordability. Nevertheless, low inventory makes it even more difficult for homebuyers to purchase a home as there are significantly fewer homes that they can afford to buy.

Comparison to Pre-Pandemic Affordability: National Nationwide, housing affordability declined compared to prepandemic conditions. Although mortgage rates are still lower than in 2019, home prices are more than 30% higher now. Over the same period, wages rose 12%. As a result, the analysis found that: • A household earning $75,000 to $100,000 can currently afford to buy 51% of the active housing inventory. Nevertheless, that same household could afford to buy 58% of the homes for sale in 2019. Thus, during the pandemic, affordability (a home is deemed affordable if the household is spending no more than 30% of their income on the housing costs, which include principal, interest, insurance, and taxes) for households in the income bracket $75,000-$100,000 dropped by 7 percentage points.

sale that a household earning $75,000 to $100,000 can afford to buy. By comparison, there were 656,200 available homes for that same household prepandemic. Thus, due to the “double trouble”, there are nearly 411,000 fewer homes available for sale for this household compared to pre-pandemic. It’s even more interesting when we compare the number of households in each income bracket with the affordable listings. That way we see the number of households per listing. It’s estimated that there are about 15.9 million households in the income bracket $75,000 to $100,000 but only 245,300 currently listed homes that they can afford to buy. This means that there is only one listing available for every 65 households of that income group. This is a stark decrease in availability from one listing for every 24 households in 2019. The most impacted households are those earning $50,000 to $75,000. For this income group, affordability dropped by 6 percentage points while there are 63% fewer active listings that they can afford to buy. At the end of 2021, households earning $50,000 to $75,000 were able to afford nearly 165,280 listings compared to 450,220 at the end of 2019. With fewer homes in the entry level, the “double trouble” was expected to have a higher impact in the lower income levels. As income increases, the impact decreases.

Comparison to Pre-Pandemic Affordability: Local At a local level, it’s quite surprising to see that very expensive areas such as San Francisco, CA; San Jose, CA; Honolulu, HI; and Washington, DC are currently more affordable compared to pre-pandemic. How can these areas be more affordable? Home prices have increased but higher incomes coupled with lower mortgage rates seem to have eased affordability in these areas. For example, the income of the typical household rose by 15% in San Jose, CA in the last 2 years. Respectively, the typical household income is 13% higher in San Francisco, CA compared to 2019. Meanwhile, remember that in the first year of the pandemic, many people were fleeing away from these big and expensive areas, so home prices were rising slower there compared to other areas during that time.

In the meantime, inventory plunged to a historic low during the pandemic. In fact, there is 57% less inventory now than in 2019. Not only can people afford fewer homes due to lower affordability, but their options are also limited even further as there are significantly fewer homes available for sale. Thus, the analysis also found:

Even though households can afford to buy a greater share of homes, there are still fewer options for those households due to record low inventory. For instance, in San Francisco, CA metro area, there are 180 fewer homes for a household earning $100,000 to $125,000 to buy. Compared to the number of households in this income group, there is an available listing for every 310 households. Nevertheless, there was a listing per 230 households in 2019. Respectively, there are about 300 fewer homes available for sale that a household in the income group $125,000 to $150,000 can afford to buy in San Francisco, CA compared to pre-pandemic.

• There are about 245,300 homes currently listed for

Wasatch Front Home Prices Keep Climbing as Sales Plunge Median single-family home prices in cities across the Wasatch Front soared in the fourth quarter. Home prices in the 10 most expensive Wasatch Front ZIP Codes now rival many other large U.S. cities. Alpine’s median price climbed to $1.3 million, nearly the same as San Francisco’s median home price. Salt Lake County’s median single-family home price increased to $539,000 in the fourth quarter, up 24% year over year. The median price of multi-family homes (condos, townhomes, twin homes) sold in the fourth quarter hit $395,000, up 22% from a year earlier. In December, the median sales price of all housing types sold in the county climbed to $495,000, up 24% year over year. Rising home prices are the result of increased in-migration, millennials buying homes, and a decade of underbuilding homes following the Great Recession. The Salt Lake Board of Realtors® predicts home prices will rise another 10-12% in 2022, with single-family prices in the Salt Lake area reaching a median price of $600,000, and multi-family prices hitting $420,000. While prices climbed, sales plummeted. Single-family sales in Salt Lake County in the fourth quarter were down 46% compared to the same period in 2020. December sales (all housing types) fell 14% year over year. December marked the seventh consecutive month of falling home sales. Low inventories and higher home prices are creating strain for home buyers. Nationally, the share of first-time buyers fell to 30% in December, down from 31% in December 2020, according to the National Association of Realtors®. The U.S. median existing-home price for all housing types in December was $358,000, up 15.8% from December 2020 ($309,200), as prices rose in each region. The South witnessed the highest pace of appreciation. This marks 118 straight months of year-over-year increases, the longest-running streak on record. Individual investors or second-home buyers, who make up many cash sales, purchased 17% of homes in December, up from 15% in November and up from 14% in December 2020. All-cash sales accounted for 23% of transactions in December, down from 24% in November, and up from 19% from December 2020.

Double Trouble (continued from page 50) After comparing the number of affordable listings among the 100 largest metro areas, the National Association of Realtors® and Realtor.com® were able to identify the top 10 areas with the most available homes for sale relative to the household population by income level. For instance, if your income is in the range of $75,000 to $100,000, Deltona, FL; Des Moines, IA; and Augusta, GA-SC are the top three areas for this income group with a listing per nearly 30 households.

Affordability by Race There are sizeable and persistent differences in the homeownership rate across racial groups. The homeownership rate for White Americans has been consistently near 70% since 2017. During the same period, the homeownership rate for Black Americans has been nearly 30 percentage points lower than those of White Americans near 40%. Thus, the National Association of Realtors® and Realtor.com® also analyzed affordability by racial group to explain these variations on homeownership. To do so, we created a score for each of the race groups that compares the share of households with the share of active listings that they can afford to buy in each income group. In balanced conditions, homes on the market are affordable to households in proportion to their income distribution. For example, a household in the 40th percentile of income should afford to buy 40% of the homes currently listed for sale. Thus, a score of 1 suggests a market in which the availability of homes for sale roughly matches the population’s ability to afford homes. A score of 2 means that all households can afford all the homes that are currently on the market. Finally, a score of 0 shows that there is no household in that specific income group that can afford any of the homes that are currently on the market. Thus, to put it simply, higher scores suggest better affordability conditions. Nationwide, housing is more affordable for Asian Americans among all other races as nearly 50% of them earn more than $100,000. In contrast, 35% of White, 54 | Salt Lake Realtor ® | February 2022

25% of Hispanic and only 20% of Black Americans have an income higher than $100,000. As a result, the score for White Americans is 0.86; 0.60 for Black Americans; 0.70 for Hispanic Americans and 1.03 for Asian Americans. This means that Asian Americans can afford a greater share of houses on the market than their income percentile. For instance, 51% of homes currently listed for sale are affordable to households with at least $100,000 income. For Asian Americans, 48% earn more than $100,000 and can afford these homes, but for Black Americans, only 20% have the same level of affordability. Since all real estate is local, these racial variations in affordability are even larger in some areas. Indeed, Bridgeport, CT, Charleston, SC, Madison, WI, Minneapolis, MN-WI, Portland, ME and San Francisco, CA were the areas with the biggest gap of affordability between White and Black households. In these areas, White households are twice as likely to afford to buy compared to Black households. For instance, in the San Francisco, CA metro area, the affordability score for White households is 0.75 compared to 0.35 for Black households. Respectively, in Charleston, SC metro area, the affordability score for White households is 0.71 compared to 0.34 for Black households. The current study also identified the most affordable areas by race. For instance, Akron, OH was the most affordable area for Black households with a score of 0.93. Specifically, 77% of Black households earn less than $75,000 while they can afford to buy 72% of the active listings in Akron, OH. Nevertheless, Hispanic households have a better affordability than Black households. In some areas, they can actually afford to buy more homes than their income distribution. Specifically, in Toledo, OH; Youngstown, OH; and Akron, OH, the affordability score is above 1. NAR Research and Realtor.com® partnered to do an analysis of affordability at different income levels for all active inventory on the market.
