BREAKING: New US Home Prices are now down 20% from their highs, in bear market territory, and falling faster than rates seen in 2008, according to Reventure

Dear all,

BREAKING:

New US Home Prices are now down 20% from their highs, in bear market territory, and falling faster than rates seen in 2008, according to Reventure.

New US home prices peaked in late-2022 at $497,000 and have fallen to $401,000 as of the latest data.

In the financial crisis, new US home prices dropped by 23% from 2007-2010, according to Reventure.

Prices are down roughly the same amount in just 1.5 years, or half the amount of time.

Is the US housing market beginning to crack?

Regards
James

New homes are smaller and being build further from cities which accounts for a substantial portion of that price decrease (the median listing price per square foot has not substantially changed in that time frame)

Scott,

Thanks for your info and hope you are doing well. (we haven't talked for a while.)

Here is another update from Reuters and the chart from Fed St Louis (FRED) for reference.
