117 U.S. Markets Lost Value Year-Over-Year

Last quarter, home prices declined Year-over-Year (YoY) on a ‘real’ (inflation-adjusted) basis in 117 (29%) of the 405 largest metropolitan real estate markets nationwide.

In the previous quarter, 88 markets had annual home price declines.

Contrary to all the dire warnings (a/k/a  ‘clickbait’) we’ve all been seeing from so-called experts over the past several YEARS, the “mother of all real estate crashes” never materialized! 

They’ve all been dead wrong.

Those who listened to that foolish advice missed the biggest 2-year real estate wealth creation period in U.S. history.

(It matters WHO you listen to.)  🙂

A few of the high-flying markets  with crazy-high 2-year appreciation during the pandemic like Austin, TX and Boise City, ID have given back 11.5% and 9.3%, respectively, of their super-sized gains. Even on an inflation adjusted basis, these very cyclical markets are still up around 30%  since the pandemic began.

Most other markets keep appreciating, even in the face of higher mortgage rates and tighter capital.

We Aren’t Out of the Woods, YET!

A small shift in Market Psychology could easily take YOUR market down (and you along with it).

There are extreme macro-economic and Geo-political risks ahead.

You’ve got to track what’s ACTUALLY HAPPENING in your LOCAL market.

Only Technical Analysis (‘TA’) can give you precise decision triggers and only HousingAlerts can provide them.

This is the most volatile (and exciting) time for real estate markets I’ve ever seen.

Fortunes will be made or lost in the coming quarters; some markets will do amazingly well; others will crash and burn.

(See the entire list of declining markets below.)

In addition to the list of declining cities below, we also use our Advance-Decline (A-D) Indicator that aggregates and tracks Market Breadth.

‘Market Breadth’ is a technique used in Technical Analysis (TA) that attempts to gauge the direction of the overall market by analyzing the number of markets advancing relative to the number declining.

Changes in Market Breadth can act as early indicators for changes in the market cycle.

IMPORTANT: The red A-D line has now fallen to the lowest level in over 8 years. The last time we saw a lower A-D line was back when some real estate markets were in the last phase of recovery from the GFC (Global Financial Crisis).

THIS IS A BEARISH SIGNAL THAT SHOULD BE MONITORED CLOSELY
Here’s what the Year-Over-Year Advance-Decline
data looks like for the overall National market.

Advance-Decline Momentum Indicator vs Home Price Appreciation Chart Year-Over-Year 1976-2018

#1 – When the red chart line is inside the green zone it’s a bullish – or positive – outlook on the overall market.

#2 – When the red line is in the middle zone it’s telling us there is no strong bullish or bearish direction; you must rely more heavily on market-by-market selections.

#3 – When the red line is in the bottom (red) zone, it indicates substantial weakness in the overall market.

PRO level members can customize this Advance-Decline indicator for more granular insights.
