Austin vs Nashville pullback trends since 2022 have been an interesting comparison case study
Keep an eye on population vs housing growth in your market - a disconnect is a strong leading indicator of an eventual pullback Austin: +48% housing, +40% pop (since 2012) ➡️ home values -6.0% YoY Nashville: +34% housing, +30% pop (since 2012) ➡️ home values -0.3% YoY

Some seasonal housing market psychology: Days on market reliably peaks in January Price drop rate usually peaks end of summer The winter slowdown is expected and sellers stay patient, but in the summer there's an implied sense of urgency to close

Of course some other factors at play too... e.g. more inventory in the summer -> more pricing competition

US housing absorption hits 25.5% -- lowest since 2019 Down -2.7% MoM and -7.6% YoY 📉 Watch closely for February's (typical) seasonal rebound. Will be an important signal on outlook for the rest of the year.

Two important nuances here: 1) household size in the US is at an all time low (~2.5) so more demand per capita 2) geographic mismatch between where there is housing surplus and where people actually want to live
Everyone keeps saying America has a “housing shortage.” It doesn’t. Divide total homes by population and you get this: We’ve never had more housing per person than we do right now. The problem isn’t supply. It’s prices.
