Housing Crash 2021 is HERE: Home Sales / Lumber Prices Plummeting!

Home buyers and real estate investors have been waiting for the 2021 Housing Crash. Well, they might not have to wait for the Real Estate Bubble to burst for much longer. Three housing market indicators: 1) new home purchase applications, 2) housing starts, and 3) lumber prices have all moved in the direction of a Housing Crash over the last month.

Home buyer demand has fallen off a cliff in recent months. Data collected by the Mortgage Banker’s Association shows that mortgage applications for new home purchases are down 25% from February to June. This means that way fewer putting are in the market for a home now compared to four months ago. In fact, the mortgage purchase application figure is now back at mid-2019 levels.

This is occurring just as home builders are beginning construction on a record amount of new homes. Over the past 12 months over 1.55 million new housing starts have occurred according to data from the Office of Housing and Urban Development and the US Census Bureau. This means that the United States will have significantly more new home inventory hitting the market in late 2021 and early 2022.

On top of all this the cost of lumber, which was soaring for many months, has also started to crash. Its down 30% from its early May peak. Lower lumber prices mean that builders won’t have to charge as much to cover costs of new homes. They also mean that the narrative surrounding the housing market could shift into negative territory in coming months.
