“Early Signs Of Rebound”: Manhattan Home Prices Rise For First Time In Year<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

For the first time in a year, Manhattan home prices in the fourth quarter rose as homebuyers came off the sidelines after the\u00a0Federal Reserve’s pivot<\/a>\u00a0led to a plunge in mortgage rates, laying the groundwork for a re-acceleration in the borough’s housing market this spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bloomberg<\/a>\u00a0cites new data from appraiser Miller Samuel Inc. and brokerage Douglas Elliman Real Estate, which shows the median sales price closed was around $1.16 million, up 5.1% – the first annual increase since the third quarter of 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Data showed two-thirds of Manhattan buyers paid cash despite the 30-year fixed mortgage rate plunging from a two-decade high of around 8% at the start of November to about 6.61% by the end of December – on the back of the Federal Reserve’s rate hike cycle pivot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even though the total number of property transactions declined in the quarter, home sales valued at more than $5 million surged – an indication wealthy folks are buying ahead of the spring season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The market is giving early signs that it’s beginning to rebound,” Miller said, adding, “It’s not going to do an about-face overnight, but it’s trending to stronger performance in terms of transactions and inventory and, to a certain degree, prices.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Bloomberg noted, “Contracts to buy homes in Manhattan \u2014 a more timely indicator of demand than closed sales \u2014 rose in December from a year earlier … The increase signals the start of a process in which lower interest rates bring in more buyers, and prompt more sellers to list their homes.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The late-year surge in the Manhattan housing market came after US home prices in October, one month before mortgage rates began to fall,\u00a0rose for the 9th straight month<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“US home prices accelerated at their fastest annual rate of the year in October,” says Brian D. Luke, Head of Commodities, Real & Digital assets at S&P DJI.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We are\u00a0experiencing broad based home price appreciation across the country, with steady gains seen in nineteen of twenty cities.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Could lower mortgage rates and tight housing supply unleash another round of bidding wars for the spring season?\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
