[Matt Clark,
Research Analyst]( In real estate it’s all about location, location, location. Another huge factor when buying a home is mortgage rates (i.e., the percent of interest on a home loan). The Federal Reserve’s rapid interest rate hikes have walloped prospective homeowners. Buying a house is now much more expensive than it was even 12 months ago. But after months of ripping higher, mortgage rates are trending lower once again. [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis calculated the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate to be 6.13% in the last week of January. That’s the lowest the average rate has been since September 2022, when the average rate was 6.02%. This means it is becoming more advantageous for potential homebuyers to get a competitive rate ⦠thus increasing the number of homes being bought. And that sets up well for the company I just found using our proprietary Stock Power Ratings system.

[Michael Carr,
Editor, The Banyan Edge]( Analysts are underestimating the strength of the housing market because a lack of supply will keep prices relatively high. The laws of supply and demand are straightforward: When demand increases and supply falls, prices rise. In the housing market, demand is rising as new households are built. Supply changes slowly since it takes time to build housing developments. [The chart]( from the U.S. Census Bureau below shows the vacancy rate is 0.9%. Before the housing bubble, the rate averaged 1.6%. It's been falling steadily since peaking in 2008, and unless supply increases, vacancies will continue to fall. Bottom line: Homebuilders have slowed construction in response to higher interest rates so supply is steady to lower. This is yet another reason to expect home prices to hold steady or rise from here.
