Hoboken Real Estate Trends | November 25-December 1, 2016

Last week was slow due to the holiday. In total, there were only 12 new listings.

I expect the market to remain at this pace throughout the month of December as we are now fully in the holiday season, but, as always if you are ready to buy now is a good a time as any, so take a look at the stats below…

Mortgage Market in Review:

Post-Election, we’ve seen rates reach their highest levels since July 2015. And, at least at the moment, there is continued upward pressure on rates. This all comes as a pre-cursor to the December Fed meeting. Analysts are expecting the Fed to raise overnight lending rates by .25%. We’ll see if that continues to drive rates up, or if that is already priced into the market. Many experts say that the recent spike mortgage rates was inevitable, and that it was going to happen eventually. But, even if that is true, it is never easy to see rates move as much as they have in such a short time period. We’re seeing rates as much as .50% higher since November 8th. We’ll see if this trend continues into December, as the holidays are now upon us!
