National Home Price Appreciation Higher Than Pre-Pandemic, Latest AEI Nowcast Trends Data, plus Manufactured Housing Investing, Stock Updates

DowJones7.09.2020ManufacturedHomeStockUpdatesBroaderMarketSnapshotThe American Enterprise Institute Housing Center’s data that will follow further below are framed in part against pre-and post-pandemic trends.

That makes sense, because millions of businesses, workers, and others are concerned with what lies ahead.

Investors crave certainty, so the saying goes.  There are several things that appear to be uncertainties, the drama of the Wuhan, China originated coronavirus pandemic is one of them.

Dr. Scott Atlas, M.D. with the Hoover Institute disputes COVID-19 fear mongering tactics from our health officials. The video that follows explains his take on why fear is not warranted for “99 percent” of most Americans.

 

The first comment posted on YouTube regarding the video above says “The “news” has been playing with the numbers since day one.”

As if to echo Dr. Atlas’ point about low mortality rates, Dr. David Murdock in Wausau, WI – who drew national attention for attending a protest some weeks ago – posted this graphic on his Facebook feed.

U.S.NewDailyDeathsCOVID19DrDavidMurdockMHProNews
While coronavirus/COVID19/Wuhan Virus cases have been rising, the death rate has been falling. Rephrased, while there is a risk, medical experts are beginning once more to compare it as similar to that of the ‘seasonal flu’ in terms of the threat to life, save for those who have serious underlying medical conditions.

Cases are going up for a variety of reasons. But the risk of dying from the COVID19 virus are low for the vast majority of Americans.

That echoes a point made by AEI some weeks ago.

“Embracing Facts Over Fear,” Edward Pinto, Director AEI Housing Center, on COVID19’s Impact, Data-Driven Insights

Having set the table with that backdrop, the AEI Nowcast for the 27th week of the year, June 27th to July 3rd, 2020 data, will be our featured focus. It will include some manufactured housing related observations. That report is found beyond the left-right headline news bullets and 2 of our 3 market snapshots at the close today. The manufactured housing industry connected stocks are near the end of the report each evening, after the featured focus and the related/recent report links.

The report below is the summary of this week’s AEI Nowcast.  Following their data-driven report will be an MHProNews analysis in brief

AEIHousingCenterLogoWeek27PurchaseRateLockActivityYearOverYearGrowthChart1MHProNewsLogo

QuoteMark1ManufacturedHomeLivingNewsAEI Housing Market Nowcast

Week 27 (June 27th – July 3rd, 2020)

Nowcasting is the prediction of present economic trends using alternative data sources that are both detailed and high-frequency. This report uses real-time information on a weekly basis. This email contains the first 5 pages of the Nowcast.

Key Takeaways:

  • In a continuation of the last several weeks’ strong upward trend, purchase rate lock volume for the week of June 27 (week 27) rose 62% from a year ago.  This provides further evidence that the worst of the near term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown may be behind us on a national level. 
    • Some of the increase was due to 4th of July falling on a Saturday this year as opposed to Thursday last year. If we only focus on the first 3 days of the week, the increase was 49% from a year ago.
    • As a result of the last three weeks’ strong purchase lock volume, combined with strong volume in weeks 1-13, year-to-date volume is now running 18% ahead of last year. 
    • However, much of the Northeast, Midwest, and West continue to lag the national trend.
  • National home price appreciation (HPA) exceeded the rate before the pandemic, which may indicate the home price boom will likely continue due to low rates and heavy demand.
    • For week 27, national HPA stood at 8.5%, which is up from a pre-pandemic high of 7.3% during week 10.
    • This recovery comes after HPA had decelerated to 3.7% in week 18.
  • For the week of June 27 (week 27), cash-out refinance rate lock activity was up 101% from a year ago. Overall, cash-out volume continues to run well above the pre-crisis period.

MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief

Manufactured housing is underperforming.  The opportunities post-pandemic are growing, not diminishing.  AEI recently noted that there is a need to boost the supply of housing.

“Home Prices May Experience Unsustainable Growth” – AEI Housing Center Director Edward Pinto and Research Director Tobias Peter

What AEI is reporting on via data, affordable manufactured housing is able to supply.

FHFA “Director [Mark] Calabria Must Initiate An Internal Investigation” – Danny Ghorbani Rips & Reveals Duty to Serve Problems, Solutions

That said, the industry is not recovering at the same pace as mainstream housing.

Official National Manufactured Housing Production, Shipment Data May 2020 – Plus Added Manufactured Home Professional Facts

That’s an indictment of the so-called leadership of the largest companies that are arguably throttling the development of more manufactured homes by thwarting good laws that would make that possible.

There will be a special report that will put this into a data-driven and opportunity-laden context in the days ahead. Watch for it.
