Traffic improved marginally in January, but levels still missed expectations. The pace of improvement is also below historical levels, and our index reading of 38 is well below our reading of 59 in January 2013. We believe this sets up for a potentially underwhelming 2014 spring selling season.

January Survey of Real Estate Agents: Econom ic Concerns Return, but Som e Buyers Look to Beat the Spring Rush
Econom ic concerns creeping back into agents com m entary: In our January survey, buyers concerns over the economy and their job stability became a growing theme, as there was more commentary surrounding this anxiety than in our December survey. Agents also continued to cite higher interest rates and prices, and their negative impact on affordability for weaker demand (sellers also remain too aggressive in some markets). However, other agents had a more positive tone, noting that some buyers were motivated to begin searching for homes now, ahead of the spring season rush and additional (potential) interest rate and price increases. Low inventories acted as another motivator in some markets, though this often had the offsetting effect of discouraging activity due to a lack of quality. Traffic still below expectations: Our traffic index was marginally higher in January, coming in at 38 from 35 in December, but still short of a neutral reading of 50. We would also highlight that this 3 point improvement is well below the surveys average 8 point increase from December to January. Our traffic index reading of 38 is also well below our reading of 59 in January 2013. As a result, we believe our index points to an underwhelming demand environment for the upcoming spring selling season. In January, 25 of 50 markets we survey saw lower than expected traffic (32 in December), 13 saw traffic in-line with expectations (7 in December), and 2 saw better than expected traffic (1 in December). Traffic was well short of expectations in Charleston, San Diego, and Phoenix. Sequential gains in January were led by Austin, Dallas, Orlando, and Washington, D.C. Prices im prove in January: Our home price index increased to 65 in January from 57 in December, above a neutral reading of 50, pointing to higher prices for the month. 31 of 50 markets saw higher prices (25 in December), 7 saw flat prices (9 in December), and 2 saw lower prices (6 in December). Inventories continue to fall: Inventories fell further in January, which should support continued pricing power. However, soft demand could pose a risk, especially if inventories rise during the spring season.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic was just below agents expectations in January, as our traffic index was flat vs. December at 45 (50 is neutral). Agents continue to cite low inventories weighing on traffic levels and the supply picture did not improve in the month as our Home Listing Index continues to indicate inventory contraction. Home prices rose in January with more broad-based gains, as our Home Price Index was 66 vs. 60 in December. Inventories continued to fall as time to sell began shortening in the last two months, a positive for future pricing.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Lack of inventory. Up and downs of economy, politics, and international economy and conflicts. Foot traffic is typical of the time of year. What is different is that current buyers are ready to buy" immediately for the right house. Inventory levels are way below the norm, thus causing pricing to hold steady. I am getting many more internet leads. There is pent-up demand. Seeing more second home buyers, which is a significant part of my market in North Georgia.

May-12 May-13 Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our Buyer Traffic Index moved sharply higher in January with a reading of 59 vs. 35 in December. Agents note that despite the general lack of quality inventory in the market, buyers are coming out to look. Local economic activity, confidence, and people moving to the area continue to be the main drivers. Price gains were broad-based in January as our price index increased to 84 from a still-strong 75 in December. We expect pricing will improve further, as both inventories and time to sell fell further in January, which are positive indicators for future pricingparticularly with improving traffic.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Increased confidence in the market. Rents going up. Rates starting to go up, pushing buyers into the market before prices go up too much further. Our usual "sleeper" January blew through the roof with business. One of our busiest months in the last 2 years. Low inventories and low quality homes. Plenty of buyers, not as many homes, inventory is low. At this time there is just almost no inventory in areas with a 400-800 price range until you hit the outer fringe of town.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic was in-line with expectations with our index posting a neutral 50 in January from 30 in December. Agents noted that buyers are still cautious with the primary cause being uncertainty on what direction prices are going, although there is some optimism for a potential pick-up. Prices rose again in January with our price index coming in at 67 from 70 in December. Pricing power may slow in coming months as inventories were unchanged in January after increasing in the prior two months, while the time to sell has lengthened over the same period.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic remained weak in January as our index fell to 24 from 26 in December. The vast majority of agents (even those that saw more traffic than expected) highlighted a lack of inventory in the market pressuring traffic with the hope being that the spring season brings out more supply. Home prices rose again in January as our Home Price Index came in at 70 from a still positive 57 in December. Inventories further contracted in January as our index came in at 88 from 95 in December. While lower supply is a positive for price, some listings are needed to keep the market functioning.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


The market has deteriorated significantly. In some Metrowest towns inventory is off 70%. Many of the properties on the market are spectacularly over-priced. Hopefully, inventory will return in the spring. Lack of inventory. Unattractive properties on market and interest rates. Although the economy is improving, buyers are still cautious. People are coming in with better positive attitudes.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our Buyer Traffic Index indicates traffic levels well below agents expectations with the index reading 10 in January from 30 in December. Agents noted that higher interest rates are still impacting traffic levels, although well look for some abatement of that pressure in our February survey given the recent decline in mortgage rates. Home prices were seen higher for the most part as our Home Price Index came in at 60 in January from 70 in December. Inventory levels remain tight as our listing index shows further contraction in January while the time to sell remained flat m/m.

Charlotte, NC Buyer Traffic Picks Up on Higher Prices Later Mindset


(6,704 single-family permits in 2012, 10th largest market in the country)
100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic hit expectations for the first time since July 2013, as our index came in at a neutral 50 from 43 in December. Agents continue to see limited inventory available, but some buyers seem content with current levels on the expectation that prices are only going to move higher in coming months. Prices rose in January with our price index coming in at 67, although the gains were less broad-based than December. Inventories and time to sell fell further in January, which should support prices in the future, particularly as buyer traffic levels have begun to pick up.

There is a lack of good inventory. Threat of interest rates rising. Low inventory. Good buying opportunities. We continue to see a strong interest in buying new homes before prices and interest rates go up more.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our Buyer Traffic Index slipped back to 30 in January from 43 in December and while many fingers pointed at the weather, other concerns included economic nervousness and lending constraints. Those that did see better than expected traffic noted that the main driver was an urgency to buy before prices and interest rates moved any higher. Home prices continued to rise in January, as our Home Price Index came in at 61 from 56 in December. Inventories shrunk again in January, while the time to sell was roughly unchanged relative to December.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Higher taxes, market uncertainty, people are nervous again waiting for the other shoe to drop. New lending rules, cold weather, and the economy still is not good in IL. Seeing lots of tenants and rising rents. First time buyers still seem afraid to commit to condos due to the condition of the economy, and health care uncertainty and potential costs. Buyers are concerned that prices and rates are going up so that want to buy before that happens.

100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic fell sharply in January with our index coming in at 29 from a neutral 50 in December. In addition to poor weather, which was noted by most agents, low inventory levels had a significantly negative impact on buyer traffic. Despite the low inventory, we did not see comments discussing the buy before prices go up mentality here. Prices rose again in January with our index coming in at 71 from 57 in December. Inventories continue to contract and time to sell decreased, which should help support price despite the slow traffic levels.

May-12 May-13 Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic relative to expectations was roughly in-line with levels seen in 4Q, as our index came in at 38 vs. 33 in December. Agents note that low inventory levels have pressured buyer traffic levels, but providing a partial offset are buyers expecting the still-low interest rates to rise. Prices bounced back after falling in December with our price index rising to 69 in January from 42. Inventories fell again in January as the time to sell contracted, which should support home prices, although the slow traffic levels should limit appreciation.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Showings have stabilized but still low inventory. Fear of rate hikes, but inventory low. Part of it is a post-holiday bounce. Part is that people think interest rates will go up, so it's motivating them to move now. Low interest rates.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic came back to a neutral level in January with our Buyer Traffic Index registering a 54 reading from 31 in December. Multiple agents noted that buyers were eager to buy ahead what are expected price and interest rate increases in coming months, but also that inventory issues are persisting. Price increases were broad-based in January with our index jumping to 88 from a neutral 50 in December. Inventories declined again in January as the time to sell contracted for the first time since Septemberthe combination of the two with better traffic points to home price gains.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers that missed an opportunity in 2013 are attempting to jump ahead of the spring 2014 rush. Job growth and corporate relocations. People are ready to buy partially because mortgage rates and prices are trending upwards. Informed prospects perceive that inventory is low and there may be competition to purchase. They are not as eager as they were 6 months ago. Low inventory.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our Buyer Traffic Index moved closer to a neutral reading with January coming in at 44 from 36 in December. Agents here noted limited inventory levels and economic uncertainty offset by an expectation of higher interest rates in the future and some urgency to move ahead of the crowd in the spring. Prices moved higher in January as our Home Price Index came in at 63 from 52 in December. Inventories contracted for the third straight month, but time to sell has been lengthening since July 2013. Combined with light traffic, this may lead to a reversal of the recent pricing power.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Rising interest rates, uneasiness about the economy. Low inventory of resale homes and no inventory of new build homes. Publicity about lending standards tightening up and lack of inventory to choose from. Two things: 1) People are starting to take notice of interest rate movement and are trying to time the market before rates go up for good; 2) Low inventory is creating a slight panic among buyers to buy before inventory levels get worse.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our Buyer Traffic Index continued to slide in January with the index coming in at 18 (from 21 in December) as traffic did not exceed a single agents expectations. Causes for the low traffic were tightened lending rules, higher rates, and lingering effects of the government shutdown. Home prices were roughly unchanged in January as our Home Price Index came in at 53 from 61 December. We continue to expect prices will come under pressure, as the time to sell further increased (a negative for pricing), although inventories fell, which provide some offset.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic wasnt too far below agents expectations as our index came in at 43 from 50 in December. Agents noted that seasonal trends were typical at this point, but there is some frustration with higher prices as we havent seen a monthly price decline since October 2011. Prices were broadly higher in January with our Home Price Index coming in at 79, up slightly from the December reading of 75. Inventories decline in January as the time to sell shortened both factors should be supportive of prices in coming months.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic continued to improve relative to expectations, but still remains below a neutral 50 reading, as January came in at 41 from 33 in December. Agents continue to see employment gains in the area drive traffic, but competition among buyers has pushed some out of the market. There were broad price gains in January as our index came in at 82 (from 85 in December)both well above a neutral 50. We expect higher prices as time to sell contracted and inventories fell further across the area in January, however, some agents did note pockets of inventory growth.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Seller are frustrated with lack of inventory, increase in cost of housing and new lending requirements that make it harder for buyer to qualify. Continuing relocation to Houston area. There are slight signs of the market cooling off as inventory levels in my downtown area have risen in the past few months but still too early to call this a trend. Inventory has dropped even further. Buyers are becoming weary and many are withdrawing until the market becomes more stable.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic fell below agents expectations in January with our index coming in at 33 from 50 in December. Most agents noted lower inventories negatively impact buyer traffic (though some saw more listings), while economic confidence and higher interest rates also weighed on demand. Home prices were slightly higher in January as our Home Price Index landed at 54 from 75 in December. Future home price gains will be challenging as the time to sell continued to increase in January while inventories were only marginally lower.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Lack of inventory and higher interest rates. More inventory and prices too high for the area. Prices are up, inventory is low and interest rates could be going up. Economy is not improving much. Trying to get in a house before the prices go up, and/or hoping there is less competition than in spring.

May-12 May-13 Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic moved closer to a neutral level relative to expectations in January as our index came in at 46 from 44 in December. Agents indicated that mediocre economic confidence, higher home prices, and limited inventories all came as headwinds to traffic in the month. Prices were broadly higher in January as our price index landed at 63 from 56 in December. Inventory levels continued their slow decline in January as time to sell also fell after lengthening in December, a positive for future pricing power.

Slow start to the year. Buyers are pulling back due to price appreciation of 2013. Buyers have greater economic uncertainty this year. Lack of inventory is driving fence sitting. Lack of inventory and economic uncertainty. I have had good traffic in my farm area, a 55+ community.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Our January traffic index indicated that levels remained short of agents expectations, as our index came in at 29, down from 33 in December, and short of a neutral 50. Agents indicated that a lack of quality inventory, higher rates, and concerns over economic and pricing stability kept buyers at bay. Prices edged lower in January, as our Home Price Index came in at 44 (unchanged from December), just shy of a neutral 50. We think prices will likely face pressure, as both inventories and the time to sell both increased in January. These are negative signs for future pricing.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


There is apprehension over rates and if more inventory is released, and the potential implications to home prices. Unemployment, new loan requirements, higher home prices and a lack of decent inventory are all keeping buyers on the sidelines. Buyers are holding back. Money is tight for buyers and prices continue to rise. There is less investor activity and rates are rising. Values have declined in the past two months. Lending is strict, and there are job stability concerns.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic in January improved to meet expectations, as our traffic index increased to 50 from 33 in December. Agents indicated that buyers were actually motivated by a lack of inventory, as they wanted to secure contracts before interest rates increased further. Agents also cited better demand from relos in January. Prices were higher, as our Home Price Index increased to 78 from 61 in December, above a neutral 50. Inventories fell in January, which we view as a positive for future pricing trends.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


A lack of active listings is limiting the market, so those folks that are seriously wanting to purchase are out and ready to go. Inventory is low, but buyers are motivated to purchase before interest rates increase and housing isnt as affordable. We seem to be having an influx of upper and middle level management positions being filled from the U.K. and the east coast. Rising interest rates is causing buyers to act.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic remained short of expectations in January, as our index came in at 33, unchanged from our reading in December, and still short of 50. Agents indicated that buyers felt prices were too high, that it is too difficult to justify current levels. Agents also indicated that sellers expectations are too high. Prices were higher in January, as our Home Price Index increased to 75 from 69 in December, above a neutral 50. Inventories and the time to sell were both unchanged in January. With lower demand, we think this could be a negative for future pricing, but this may reverse with better demand.

Our Take:
Traffic improved and met expectations in January, as our traffic index came in at 50, up from 36 in December. Agents indicated that a better local economy was the main driver of demand over the past month. Buyers felt comfortable entering the market, and according to other agents, low inventories and potentially higher rates gave buyers added motivation. Prices were higher in January, as our Home Price Index increased to 77 from 68 in December, above a neutral 50. Inventories and the time to sell both fell in January, which we view as positives for pricing power.

The expectation is that rates are going to go up. Low inventories are making buyers get off the fence. Unemployment has moderated in the area. The job market is good. Interest rates are still low and home prices are making moves higher. Prices and demand have been rising by the month despite the cold weather. Inventory is vanishing within these areas. Unemployment is low and buyers want in. Buyers dont think that the economy is in good shape.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic was a bit better in January, as our traffic index came in at 39, up slightly from 28 in December, but still short of a neutral 50. Agents noted that the threat of higher rates drove some buyers into the market, though employment concerns remain the dominant theme. Buyers were too worried about their job security to commit to a home. Prices were higher in January, as our Home Price Index increased to 63 from 60 in December, above a neutral 50. Agents pointed to lower inventories in January, a positive for future pricing. Meanwhile, the time to sell was unchanged.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


I believe that the feeling that interest rates are going to rise is bringing buyers out. More houses than usual are going under contract this time of year. There is a lot of job uncertainty in the region. People are concerned about the their jobs, Obamacare, and higher oil and gas prices. Most buyers are looking to pay off credit card debt first because they are worried about job layoffs. Rates are higher, inventory is too tight, there is economic uncertainty and layoffs, and the stock market is falling.

Our Take:
Buyer traffic was better in January, as our index came in at 40, up from a very low 11 in December, but levels were still short of expectations (readings below 50). Agents indicated that a bit more inventory and low rates helped demand, but concerns about the economy and that prices are too high kept most buyers on the sidelines. Prices were higher in January, as our Home Price Index came in at 65 (from 72 in December), still above a neutral 50. Inventories were higher in January, typically a negative for prices, though urgency increased as the time to sell was lower.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyer traffic has picked up over the past two weeks. Weve had a bit more inventory for sale, with some more REO listings as well. Interest rates are still low and inventory is still tight. Plus, buyers know that prices are rising. The public confidence in the economy in general is still low and this is keeping activity at a standstill. Prices have risen too fast! Much of the inventory is overpriced or bait and switch tactics. There are more lookers than buyers.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic came in short of agents expectations in January, as our Buyer Traffic Index came in at 30, up slightly from 27 in December, but still short of a neutral 50. Agents suggested that lingering effects from the government shutdown and economic uncertainty kept demand at low levels. Prices were unchanged in January, as our price index came in at 45 from 50 in December, in-line with a neutral reading. Inventories were lower in January, as was the time to sell. We believe that decreases in both of these metrics are positive indicators for future pricing.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Since the government shutdown it seems that the buyer pool has dried up. Buyers arent sure what to expect about the economy and as a result, they arent sure about their job security. The lending standards and appraisers are painful. The weather in January has been a little extreme. This hasnt helped demand get on track yet.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic fell in January, as our index came in at 26, down from 33 in December. Agents attributed the lower traffic to buyers concerns that prices are too high (sellers are too aggressive). Agents also indicated that buyers will only entertain quality listings at good prices. The local economy also appears to be a drag on demand, while investor activity remains muted. Prices were stable in January, as our Home Price Index came in at 45, up from 42 in December and in-line with a neutral 50. Agents pointed to broad increase in inventories and the time to sell, which we view as negatives for future pricing.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Rates are higher and there are a lack of good jobs. With higher inventories and economic uncertainty, buyers are taking a wait and see attitude. Only a great looking house will get them to jump, ugly houses are just sitting there. Buyers seem to be taking a break. They are waiting to see more inventory and lower prices. Investors are mostly gone. There is uncertainty and skepticism from buyers. Sellers are overzealous with listing prices and their homes are just sitting on the market.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic improved and met expectations in January, as agents noted that buyers were driven by the fear of higher rates and prices. Others noted that buyers wanted to get in early, ahead of the busier spring selling season. Low inventories drove demand, according to some agents; though for others, it meant less material with which to attract buyers. Homes prices were modestly higher in January, as our Home Price Index increased to 57 from 50 in December (above 50). Inventories were lower in January, a positive for future pricing, while the time to sell was unchanged.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers are concerned that prices will continue to rise so they are looking to buy now. The weather actually hasnt been that bad, bringing out early shoppers who want to get in ahead of the spring season. There is a heightened sense that prices and interest rates are going nowhere but up. So buyers want in now to capture the best deal possible. Inventory remains low and there are fewer signs and ads for buyers to look at.

Agents indicated that inventories were too low in January to entice buyers to enter the market, while others noted that buyers are cash-strapped. Prices were up marginally in January, as our Home Price Index came in at 56 (unchanged from our December reading), just above a neutral reading of 50. Inventories and the time to sell both edged lower in January, which we view as a positive for future pricing.

Our Take:
Traffic came in to meet expectations in January, as our Buyer Traffic Index increased to 50 from 42 in December, in-line with a neutral reading. Agents indicated that buyers were motivated to search due to concerns that rates and prices might be even higher during the spring. Agents also noted better overall demand from first-time, move-up and all cash buyers. Prices were flat in January, as our Home Price Index came in at 50 (from 58 in December), in-line with a neutral reading. Inventories were lower, as was the time to sell in January.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


There is pent up demand with low rates. Plus there is a fear of potential increases in rates and prices. Low inventory helps create additional urgency in the market. We are also still getting a lot of all cash contracts. We also have more local appraisers who do a more thorough job and understand the market. Weve been getting some better demand from first-time buyers and move-up buyers.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic was a bit better in January, as our traffic index came in at 32, up from 20 in December, but still well short of agents expectations (below 50). Agents indicated that higher rates and prices have worked to keep buyers away from the market. Tight lending standards have also discouraged activity. Prices were higher in January, as our Home Price Index came in at 64, up from 50 in December, above a neutral reading of 50. We think prices may be choppy in the coming months, as our time to sell index pointed to an increased time to sell, a negative for future pricing. Inventories were flat in January.

Our Take:
Traffic was up slightly in January, though levels still fell short of agents expectations, as our traffic index came in at 40, up slightly from 30 in December, but still short of 50. Agents pointed to better demand from a strong local economy, but low inventories were a partial offset. Move-up buyers were said to be keeping their homes off the market. Prices were higher in January, as our Home Price Index increased to 75 from 60 in December, above a neutral 50. Inventories and the time to sell both declined, which we view as positives for future pricing power.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Folks are not listing their homes. Theyre staying put. Inventory is very short. A lot of jobs created in 2013, and we expect even more in 2014. The Eagle Ford Shale is pumping money into the economy. Activity has tapered slightly over the past couple of months. I feel that the reason is simply that the pace was so frenetic, it could not last forever. The economy has kept demand at a relatively steady pace.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic remained well short of agents expectations in January, as our traffic index came in at 24 from 22 (below 50). Agents indicated that buyers were frustrated with a limited inventory to choose from, high prices, and high interest rates. Others were said to still be concerned about the economy. Prices were higher in January (first time since August), as our Home Price Index came in at 58 from 28 December. Inventories edged lower while the time to sell increased slightly. Low inventories is a positive for pricing, but the increased time to sell is a potential negative.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Inventory and prices continue to fluctuate drastically. Buyers are not anxious to really make an offer. Growing uncertainty about the still fragile recovery in housing puts many on the sidelines. The economy is still slow and people are still worried. Buyers are hesitant, frustrated by low inventory and higher rates. There is no inventory and prices are too high.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Demand improved in January, as our Buyer Traffic Index increased to 54 from 37 in December, indicating that demand met agents expectations for this time of year. Agents said that buyers were driven by a lack of inventory and a fear of missing out, but showed less enthusiasm than in summer 2013. Prices continued to improve, as our Home Price Index increased to 78 from 63 in December, above a neutral 50. Incentives were said to have declined as well. Inventories fell, as did the time to sell. Declines in each of these metrics are positives for future pricing power.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


The lack of inventory is creating some urgency in the market. Inventory is low and buyers feel that the local economy is doing better. High rents are also pushing buyers into the market. Buyers came back in the first week of January, but were met with super low inventory. That caught their attention. There are lots of buyers looking. Many of them are tenants looking to buy their first home. Though buyers do seem less aggressive than 6 months ago.

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic took a step down in January, as our traffic index fell to 23 from 50 in December, well short of agents expectations. Agents indicated that buyers were concerned about the impact from local flood insurance rates and local economic trends. Prices improved in January, as our Home Price Index increased to 75 from 69, above a neutral 50. We think prices could come under pressure given higher inventories a negative for prices. A flat time to sell could also pose risk given the slower demand.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


There is renewed faith in the viability of the economy. Locally, jobs seem to be improving. There are more multiple offers in the past month. I have been in 2 two multiple offers situations with 8 competing offers. There is a lack of inventory, better job security and lots of relocations coming in. Holidays are over, and buyers are chomping at the bit to buy a house before interest rates rise. There is a shortage of desirable inventories.

Our Take:
Agents pointed to lower demand in January, as our Buyer Traffic Index fell to 25 from 67 in December, short of a neutral reading of 50 (levels short of expectations). Agents indicated that changes to mortgage standards, less disposable income, and a lack of inventory kept buyers on the fence in January. Prices were flat in January, as our Home Price Index came in at 50 (unchanged from our reading in December), in-line with a neutral reading. Inventories and the time to sell both declined, which we view as a positive for future pricing power.

Buyers are uninformed about the mortgage changes. Higher healthcare expenses are also taking away from the ability for buyers to save for a down payment. The stock market volatility is hurting demand. A shortage of inventory has slowed some buyers, but I still get multiple offers for some of my listings.

Inventories were down slightly in January, while the time to sell decreased as well. We view declines in each of these metrics as positives for future pricing.

Courthouse foreclosed properties are being bought up by investors, reducing the inventory of homes for sales. There is a lot of demand from relos and foreign investors. Some buyers still find current prices attractive. Low interest rates and listing prices with low inventory are motivating buyers to purchase now.

May-12 May-13 Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic exceeded agents expectations in January, as our traffic index increased to 57 from 50 in December, coming in above a neutral reading of 50. Agents indicated that increased demand from snowbirds and investors helped drive the improvement in demand. Prices were higher in January, as our Home Price Index increased to 79 from 64 in December, above 50. Inventories increased further in January, a negative for future pricing. However, the time to sell decreased, a positive sign for urgency and potential pricing power.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Snowbirds are optimistic and buying again. We appear to have a larger number of winter investors this year relative to last year. Traffic has picked up since the holidays, though that was somewhat expected.

Virginia Beach, VA Traffic Remains Stable, Pricing Still a Bit Choppy

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic was in-line with agents expectations again in January, as our traffic index came in at 50, unchanged from our reading in December. Commentary was mixed, as some saw buyers looking to get in ahead of higher rates, while others noted that some were concerned about reduced government spending. Prices were lower in January, as our price index came in at 40 (from 20 in December), short of a neutral reading of 50. Inventories were lower in January, while the time to sell was unchanged. With steady traffic levels, we think these could be positive indicators for future pricing.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Buyers are showing motivation to act now before the decrease in bond buying drives interest rates up. Buyers feel a bit more optimistic about the economy. The job market seems to be struggling a bit and some buyers are spooked. There is economic uncertainty over military spend.

Washington, D.C. Traffic Shows Signs of Life in January, Pricing Flat

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Traffic improved in January, as our index came in at 40 from 19 in December. However, levels still fell short of expectations (readings below 50). Agents noted that low inventories and slightly lower rates created some urgency, though buyers were said to still have some concerns about the economy. Prices were flat in January, as our price index came in at 52 from 46 in December, in-line with a neutral 50. Inventories edged lower in January, while the time to sell increased slightly, suggesting that prices may remain stable in the near-term.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


Low inventories and signs of a strong market are getting buyers out to beat the spring rush and avoid multiple offer situations. Investors and first-time buyers are showing interest. Only change of note is that interest rates have ebbed a bit. New construction in some parts of the market is moving well. Existing homes are lagging a bit. I believe people are waiting to see what happens with the economy.

Wilmington, NC Insurance Rate Increases Keep Traffic Muted in January

100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0

Buyer Traffic Index

Our Take:
Buyer traffic remained well below agents expectations in January. Our traffic index came in 17 (unchanged from our reading in December), short of 50. Agents noted that local insurance rate increases have worked to keep buyers away from the market. Prices improved in January, as our Home Price Index came in at 67, up from 33 in December, above a neutral reading of 50. Prices may come under pressure in the coming months as agents pointed to an increased time to sell. We view this as a negative for pricing especially given slower traffic.

Comments from Real Estate Agents:


I think its seasonal, but everyone is crying broke. Insurance increases are scaring buyers away. Down payments are becoming too expensive. Prices are too high. Flood and homeowner insurance rate increases are killing sales.

Agent Recom m endations


Agents recom m end Toll Brothers, D.R. Horton, and Pulte Group. Toll Brothers received the highest percentage of recommendations by agents across the markets we survey. 34% of agents (net of positive responses less negative responses) responding said they would recommend Toll, while 27% said they would recommend D.R. Horton and 23% said they would recommend Pulte Group. We believe this is important since 35-40% of new home sales involve an agent. This is a positive for those companies, in addition to others below that received strong recommendations.

Survey Methodology
We survey real estate agents, as we believe agents provide an accurate assessment of local housing market trends in both the new and existing home markets. We view an understanding of the existing home market as crucial to homebuilders as it represents over 90% of total sales, and trends in the existing home market often dictate trends in the new home market.
Each month, we survey agents about trends in buyer traffic levels, home prices, incentives, inventory levels, and the length of time needed to sell a home. In January, we received responses from 800 real estate agents across the country. We review responses and calculate an index for each of the questions with levels above 50 indicating positive trends, levels below 50 indicating worsening trends, and a level of 50 indicating a neutral trend. 1) Are traffic levels in-line with, above, or below your expectations for this tim e of year? (Because of seasonality to traffic trends generally more traffic in Spring and less in Fall/Winter we ask about traffic relative to the expectations for this time of year rather than how traffic compared to the prior month). A traffic index above 50 means that traffic was above the expectations of agents, a traffic index of 50 means that traffic was in-line with expectations, and a traffic index below 50 means that traffic was below expectations. 2) Have prices rem ained the sam e, increased, or decreased over the past 30 days? A price index above 50 indicates that prices increased over the past 30 days, a price index of 50 indicates that prices were flat, and a price index below 50 indicates that prices decreased. 3) Have incentives rem ained the sam e, increased, or decreased over the past 30 days? An incentive index above 50 indicates that incentives decreased over the past 30 days, an incentive index of 50 indicates that incentives were unchanged, and an incentive index below 50 indicates that incentives increased. 4) Do you see the sam e, m ore, or fewer, listings as com pared with 30 days ago? An inventory (listings) index above 50 indicates that the inventory of homes for sale decreased over the past 30 days, an inventory index of 50 indicates that inventories were unchanged, and an inventory index below 50 indicates that inventories increased. 5) Does it take the sam e, m ore, or less tim e to sell a house? A time to sell index above 50 indicates that the time needed to sell a home decreased over the past 30 days, a time to sell index of 50 indicates that the time needed to sell a home was unchanged, and a time to sell index below 50 indicates that the time needed to sell a home increased.

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
