Home equity flattens out across U.S. in fourth quarter of 2022

ATTOM has released its fourth-quarter 2022 U.S. Home Equity & Underwater Report, which shows that 48 percent of mortgaged residential properties in the United States were considered equityrich in the fourth quarter, meaning that the combined estimated amount of loan balances secured by those properties was no more than 50 percent of their estimated market values.

The portion of mortgaged homes that was equity-rich in the fourth quarter of 2022 declined slightly from 48.5 percent in the third quarter of 2022, but was still up from 41.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021. While the equity-rich levels nationwide remain nearly double what it was three years ago, the drop-off in the last three months of 2022 reversed a string of 10 straight quarterly gains. The report found that the portion of equity-rich mortgage-payers went down from the third to the fourth quarter of 2022 in 31 states around the U.S.

The dip marked one of the first signs of how a recent fall in home prices across the country has started to affect homeowners following a decade-long market boom.

Despite the new pattern in equity-rich mortgages, however, the report also shows that just 2.9 percent of mortgaged homes, or one in 34, were considered seriously underwater in the fourth quarter of 2022. That meant that they had a combined estimated balance of loans secured by the property of at least 25 percent more than the property’s estimated market value. The latest seriously underwater figure was unchanged from 2.9 percent in the prior quarter, and was still down from 3.1 percent, or one in 32 properties, in the fourth quarter

of 2021.

Overall, 94.1 percent of homeowners paying off mortgages had at least some equity built up in their properties during the fourth quarter of last year. That also represented a slight decrease from 94.3 in the prior quarter, while still up from 93.5 percent a year earlier and 88.8 percent in late 2020. The portion of homeowners with equity rises further when accounting for homeowners who have paid off their home loans.

“Dents are beginning to surface in the armor around the U.S. housing market after 11 years of a strong showing for owners,” said Rob Barber, CEO for ATTOM. “Home values have been dropping since the middle of last year, which appears to be starting to cut into homeowner equity around the country. That’s probably happening because values are sinking faster than owners are paying off their mortgages. How that shakes out over the next few months will depend on a lot of factors, including where interest rates go. But for now, it looks like the runup in wealth flowing from owning homes has stalled along with the market.”

Largest decline in equity-rich sh are of mortgages spread across West

The portion of equity-rich mortgages changed mostly by small amounts in different states from the third to the fourth quarter of 2022 – commonly by less than two percentage points. But the biggest drops were all in the West, following earlier quarters that saw larger gains in that region than elsewhere in the country. The fourth-

quarter declines were led by Idaho (portion of mortgages homes considered equity-rich decreased from 65.8 percent in the third quarter of 2022 to 61.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022), Arizona (down from 63.4 percent to 59.9 percent), Nevada (down from 55.8 percent to 52.3 percent), Washington (down from 61 percent to 58.5 percent) and Oregon (down from 55 percent to 53.2 percent).

At the other end of the spectrum, the South had five of the top 10 states where the equity-rich share of mortgaged homes increased the most from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2022. The largest increases were in Montana (up from 51.5 percent to 58 percent), Kansas (up from 34 percent to 37 percent), Delaware (up from 34.2 percent to 35.9 percent), Mississippi (up from 31.5 percent to 33.2 percent) and Arkansas (up from 36.6 percent to 38 percent).

Small increases in seriously underwater mortgages clustered in West

While the portion of mortgage homes considered seriously underwater remained historically low in the fourth quarter of 2022 in most of the nation, the largest increases were clustered in the West. The top increases were in Missouri (share of mortgaged homes that were seriously underwater up from 5.2 percent in the third quarter of 2022 to 7.1 percent in the fourth quarter), Hawaii (up from 1.5 percent to 2 percent), Idaho (up from 1.9 percent to 2.2 percent), New Mexico (up

ENNICO: Finding yourself in a legal gray area

Construction spending slips

0.4 percent in December, yet record-high December job openings suggest contractors remain bullish in 2023

Wall Street slips on worries about high inflation, rates

more for their money as home shopping season approaches

Home buyers’ mortgage payments have started stretching a bit further in recent months, a new Zillow® analysis shows.

As mortgage rates doubled last year, the home price afforded by a $3,000 payment plummeted from $865,000 in January to a low of $560,000 in October. That significantly changed the size and price of homes within a buyer’s reach. On average, a $3,000 monthly mortgage payment today buys a home 140 square feet smaller than a home purchased a year ago.

But as rates have dropped from a peak just above 7%, buyers are getting larger homes, with higher price tags, at a fixed monthly cost. The typical home value associated with a $3,000 mortgage payment is up about $60,000 since October and home size has recovered by 84 square feet.

“Mortgage rates have a huge impact on the types of homes buyers are able to afford. Rates that doubled over the past year carved an extra bedroom or office space off of homes at the national level, though the sting has lessened in recent weeks,” said Anushna Prakash, economic data analyst at Zillow. “Buyers in more affordable hot markets are still getting solid bang for their buck, despite losing a lot of purchasing power.”

The annual decline is more pronounced in some markets. Hartford saw the largest drop in what $3,000 per month

can buy in 2022, losing 1,200 square feet. Buyers in Indianapolis and Cleveland both lost out on more than 1,000 square feet in the last year. Cleveland and Kansas City are among the top 10 metros for home size at this price point and are among Zillow’s 10 hottest markets for 2023.

Homes in less expensive markets have a larger footprint to begin with, and therefore had farther to fall as climbing mortgage rates applied pressure to buyers’ wallets. As costs rose in 2022, there were more buyers competing in those markets than in their more expensive counterparts.

On the other hand, $3,000 per month has always gotten a buyer less space in pricey markets, but their floor plans are shrinking all the same. In San Jose it will buy a

1,052-square-foot home, down from 1,268 square feet last year. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco are close behind, with square footage for each below 1,400 square feet.

Although affordability is still a major challenge, buying power for home shoppers has rebounded in recent months. Since bottoming out in October, home size for a $3,000 payment has increased the most in Salt Lake City (365 square feet), Minneapolis (357), Memphis (346) and Denver (340).

Heading into the home shopping season, shoppers should prepare by improving their credit as much as possible in order to score the best mortgage rate. Even a small rate drop can save tens of thousands of dollars over the life of a loan. A borrower with

an “excellent” credit score — between 760 and 850 — can qualify for a 30-year fixedrate mortgage with a 6.0% interest rate. For the same loan, a similar borrower with a “fair” credit score — between 620 and 639 — qualifies for a 7.58% rate. This equates to a $348 difference in monthly mortgage payments and nearly $125,431 in interest over the life of a 30-year fixed loan, based on the current price of a typical U.S. home ($329,542).

The spring sales season is kicking off, and Zillow tools and tech are here to help. More than 1 million shoppers have used the down payment assistance resource built into Zillow’s home detail pages, and Zillow’s affordability calculator can help determine what kind of home will fit individuals’ budgets.

Construction spending slips 0.4 percent in December, yet record-high December job openings suggest contractors remain bullish in 2023

Total construction spending decreased by 0.4 percent in December, yet industry job openings at the end of the month set a new high for December, according to an assessment the Associated General Contractors of America conducted of two new federal data sets. Association officials said the jobs data signals that the slowdown in construction spending may have been more about changes in weather than demand.

“The record number of job openings in construction compared to previous Decembers suggests contractors are bullish about their backlogs despite a dip in spending in December,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Some of the downturn may be due to unusually bad weather rather than a shrinking market.”

Construction spending, not adjusted for inflation, totaled $1.810 trillion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in December, 0.4 percent below the November rate, which was revised up from the initial estimate a month ago. Spending on private residential construction decreased for the seventh consecutive month in December, 0.3 percent. Spending on private nonresidential construction fell 0.5 percent in December, while public construction investment declined 0.4 percent.

A separate government report showed there were 359,000 job openings in construction at the end of the year, a jump of 58,000 or 19 percent from a year earlier and the highest December total in the 23year history of the data. Openings exceeded the 217,000 workers hired during the entire month, which suggests contractors wanted to bring on board more than twice as many employees as they were able to find, Simonson added.

Spending varied among large private nonresidential segments. The biggest

component, commercial construction— comprising warehouse, retail, and farm construction—increased 0.4 percent. Spending on manufacturing plants decreased 2.2 percent. Private power construction rose 0.5 percent.

Public categories were also mixed. The largest public segment, highway and street construction, increased 1.1 percent in December. Spending declined 0.3 percent for education construction. Investment in transportation facilities rose 0.2 percent.

Residential spending shrank due to a

2.3 percent contraction from November in single-family homebuilding. That outweighed increases of 3.2 percent in multifamily construction and 0.7 percent in additions and renovations to owneroccupied houses.

Association officials cautioned that labor shortages and regulatory delays on federally funded projects pose a risk for contractors in 2023. They urged the Biden administration and Congress to clarify new Buy America and registered apprenticeship requirements included in new federal

funding measures. And they continued to push for immigration reform and support for construction training programs to get more people into construction careers.

“Instead of just talking about projects that someday might get built, the President and Congress should take steps to speed project reviews, reduce regulatory delays and enable men and women to pursue high-paying construction careers,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer.

from 2.7 percent to 3 percent) and Wyoming (up from 2.9 percent to 3.2 percent).

States where the percentage of seriously underwater homes decreased the most from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of last year were Mississippi (down from 9 percent to 6.8 percent), Delaware (down from 3.9 percent to 3 percent), Montana (down from 3 percent to 2.2 percent), Kansas (down from 4.9 percent to 4.3 percent) and Arkansas (down from 5.6 percent to 5.2 percent).

Equity-rich homeowners still concentrated in West

Despite seeing some of the largest decreases in equity-rich percentages, the West still had the highest levels of such properties around the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2022, with seven of the top 10 states. Those with the highest portions were Vermont (76.6 percent of mortgaged homes were equity-rich), Florida (62.2 percent), Idaho (61.6 percent), California (61.5 percent) and Utah (60.3 percent).

Nine of the 10 states with the lowest percentages of equity-rich properties in the fourth quarter of 2022 were in the Midwest and South. They were led by Louisiana (24.5 percent of mortgaged homes were equityrich), Illinois (26.2 percent), Alaska (27.1 percent), West Virginia (30.1 percent) and Iowa (30.9 percent).

Among 107 metropolitan statistical areas around the nation with a population greater than 500,000, the West and South again dominated the list of places with the highest portion of mortgaged properties that were equity-rich in the fourth quarter of 2022. All but one of the top 25 were in those regions, led by San Jose, CA (73.8 percent equityrich); Sarasota-Bradenton, FL (70.5 percent); Fort Myers, FL (67.8 percent); San Francisco, CA (66.5 percent) and Los Angeles, CA (66.3 percent). The leader in the Northeast region again was Portland, ME (61.9 percent) while the top metro in the Midwest continued to be Grand Rapids, MI (50.5 percent).

Eighteen of the 20 metro areas with the lowest percentages of equity-rich properties in the fourth quarter of 2022 were in the Midwest and South. The smallest levels were in Baton Rouge, LA (20.5 percent of mortgage homes were equity-rich); Jackson, MS (25.1 percent); Virginia Beach, VA (27.9 percent); Chicago, IL (28.3 percent) and Little Rock, AR (28.8 percent).

The portion of mortgaged homes considered equity rich went down from the third quarter of 2022 to the fourth quarter of 2022 in 70 of the 107 metro areas with sufficient data (65 percent).

Top equity-rich counties still in Northeast, South and West

Among 1,625 counties that had at least 2,500 homes with mortgages in the fourth

quarter of 2022, 48 of the top 50 equity-rich locations were in the Northeast, South and West.

Counties with the highest share of equityrich properties were Chittenden County (Burlington), VT (86.5 percent equityrich); Dukes County (Martha’s Vineyard), MA (84.1 percent); San Miguel County (Telluride), CO (80.4 percent); Nantucket County, MA (79.8 percent) and Washington County (Montpelier), VT (77.1 percent).

Chicago) (27.5 percent) and Kane County, IL (outside Chicago (27.6 percent).

At least half of all mortgaged properties considered equity-rich in 50 percent of zip codes

Among 8,721 U.S. zip codes that had at least 2,000 residential properties with mortgages in the fourth quarter of 2022, there were 3,887 (46 percent) where at least half the mortgaged properties were equityrich.

Forty-seven of the top 50 were in California, Florida, Massachusetts and Texas, with four of the top 10 in Collier County, FL. They were led by zip codes 02539 in Edgartown, MA (86.1 percent of mortgaged properties were equity-rich); 34108 in Naples, FL (86.1 percent); 34102 in Naples, FL (85.7 percent); 33477 in Jupiter, FL (84.9 percent) and 95130 in San Jose, CA (84.3 percent).

Housing Forecast: Homebuying costs aren’t coming down in 2023

Amid higher mortgage rates and budgets squeezed by inflation, homebuyers looking for affordability in 2023 will find that prices aren’t coming down, according to the Realtor.com® 2023 Housing Forecast released today. Instead, with the housing market beginning a gradual adjustment that could last through 2025, what next year will offer buyers is less competition for a growing number of for-sale homes.

Overall in 2023,1 Realtor.com® forecasts that buyers and sellers can expect:

• Average mortgage rates of 7.4%, with early 2023 hikes followed by a slight retreat to 7.1% by year-end.

• Home sales prices won’t come down, but growth will moderate to a single-digit yearly pace (+5.4%) for the first time since 2020.

• Rents (+6.3% year-over-year) will outpace home prices and likely hit new highs, further adding to budget pressures – especially for first-time buyers.

• An increase in existing homes for sale (+22.8% year-over-year), as the inventory refresh that began last summer accelerates.

• Home sales will decline 14.1% year-over-year to 4.53 million, the lowest level since 2012 (see table below).

“Compared to the wild ride of the past two years, 2023 will be a slowerpaced housing market, which means drastic shifts like price declines may

ENNICO: Finding yourself in a legal gray area

Twice a year, I host a program for the New York State Bar Association targeting young lawyers who are looking to set up solo law practices.

These people ask a million questions, and while there are clear answers to many of them, there are some that simply cannot be answered because there aren’t clear legal precedents.

Believe it or not, as comprehensive as our legal system in the U.S. appears to be (just look at the 2,000-plus pages of the federal tax code, and the 20,000 pages of regulations interpreting those 2,000 pages, and the millions of pages of case law interpreting those regulations), there are still a lot of legal “gray areas” out there where there is no clear answer to the question, “What should I do?”

The last time I gave my state bar talk, I spoke at length about one of these gray areas affecting attorneys who practice out of home offices. One of the attendees, apparently neurotic about the fact that there wasn’t a clear answer, requested the state bar to give an “ethics opinion” on the matter to get some clarification. Unsurprisingly, the state bar took the most conservative position possible, and now there is authority on the books (at least in New York) that you cannot or shouldn’t do the thing I spoke about.

underwater), Missouri (7.1 percent); Mississippi (6.8 percent), Illinois (6.3 percent) and Iowa (6.2 percent).

The smallest shares were in Vermont (0.9 percent seriously underwater), Rhode Island (1.1 percent), New Hampshire (1.2 percent), Florida (1.2 percent) and Massachusetts (1.3 percent).

Among 107 metropolitan statistical areas with a population greater than 500,000, those with the largest shares of mortgages that were seriously underwater in the fourth quarter of 2022 were Baton Rouge, LA (11 percent); New Orleans, LA (7.8 percent); Jackson, MS (7.5 percent); Syracuse, NY (6.6 percent) and Scranton, PA (6.3 percent).

While most seriously underwater rates around the country changed by less than

Far from being considered a hero (or heroine) for doing this, I think this young attorney should frankly surrender his or her license and go into another line of work. Frequently, clients of mine get into legal and ethical gray areas. Remember, my clients are primarily entrepreneurs: For whom the normal rules do not apply (or who cannot work within the normal rules).

Who challenge the existing order of things.

Who are looking for creative new ways to solve problems.

Who are sometimes frankly pains in the you-know-what who never learned to color between the lines when they were kids.

I was told many years ago by a reliable authority (a law professor, in fact) that if the major fast-food chains complied strictly and to the letter with every federal, state and local rule and regulation that applied to their business, the cost of a hamburger would be between $15 and $20 (without fries).

Being an entrepreneur does not, of course, excuse illegal or unethical behavior. But complying too strictly with our ever-expanding legal system and being overly concerned about strict compliance can be a serious handicap to an entrepreneur’s growth and success.

one percentage point from the third to the fourth quarter of last year, the portion increased in 82, or 77 percent, of the 107 metro areas with enough data to analyze. Seriously underwater rates, however, remained down, year over year, in 66 percent of the metro areas analyzed.

More than 25 percent of residential mortgages seriously underwater in just 23 zip codes

Among 8,721 U.S. zip codes that had at least 2,000 homes with mortgages in the fourth quarter of 2022, there were only 23 locations where more than 25 percent of mortgaged properties were seriously underwater. Of those, seven were in Cleveland, OH, and Columbia, MO.

The top five zip codes with the largest shares of seriously underwater properties

Gray areas can sometimes be an entrepreneur’s best friend. Gray areas mean you may be able to do something and get away with it for a while until so many other people are doing it that legislatures and regulatory bodies feel the need to develop regulations and rules for that behavior (with your business possibly being “grandfathered” and excused from compliance). Gray areas mean there may be opportunities for a little business to get a leg up on bigger competitors, who will be advised by their overly paid army of neurotic lawyers that the opportunity is “too risky.”

Listen to successful entrepreneurs saying in interviews, “I would rather beg for forgiveness than ask for permission,” or “I was too dumb to know I couldn’t do X.” Big companies (and neurotic attorneys) ask for permission; entrepreneurs take the shot.

Now, I understand completely why professionals (not just attorneys) may be tempted to get an advance ruling from some legal or ethical authority when giving gray area advice to a client. They are concerned about their malpractice liability. They don’t want to tell the client, “It’s a grey area, so go do it,” for fear that if the activity is regulated in the future they will be blamed (or sued, or stripped of their

More than 90 percent of homeowners facing foreclosure have at least some equity

Only about 234,400 homeowners were facing possible foreclosure in the fourth quarter of 2022, or just four-tenths of one percent of the 58.1 million outstanding mortgages in the U.S. Of those facing foreclosure, about 216,000, or 92 percent, had at least some equity built up in their homes.

license) for giving the client bad advice. In an increasingly litigious and hostile world, those fears are not unjustified.

Nevertheless, professionals who take the view that “I can never be sued for telling a client not to do something” are failing their clients and not doing their jobs out of cowardice. Here’s what I think professionals should say to their clients when confronted with a gray area:

“Hi, Joe. Listen, I really cracked the books and I couldn’t find any clear authority saying you can’t do what you said you wanted to do. Now, that doesn’t mean it’s OK to do it. You’re in a gray area here, and if you do proceed there’s a risk somebody who doesn’t like what you’re doing will try to shut you down. If you’re going to do it, I would be extremely cautious and take it one step at a time. But I can’t find anything at least today that says it’s prohibited.”

That way you have covered your youknow-what and empowered the client to decide whether to take the desired action. Just make sure you put it in writing ...

as impactful as it could be for the vast majority of homeowners because they have varying levels of financial cushion built up in their property,” Barber said. “That should help them either refinance mortgages, or if they have to sell, still generate a profit from all the recent price increases.”

States where the largest portion of homeowners facing possible foreclosure had equity in their properties in the fourth quarter of 2022, included Utah (98 percent with equity), Washington (97 percent), Idaho (97 percent), Colorado (96 percent) and Nevada (96 percent). States with the lowest percentages included Louisiana (82 percent with equity), Illinois (85 percent), Maryland (87 percent), North Dakota (87 percent) and Virginia (88 percent).

NOVAK: Career change planning at 40

Q: I am married and nearing 40 years old, with one young child and a husband who lives to work. I have an undergraduate degree in accounting, but never went for a master’s. I worked at a large financial firm until recently; the work is no longer interesting or enjoyable. I would like to work again, but absolutely not in accounting. I have the option of returning for a graduate degree; I was always a top student, so I thought it would be best to go back for a graduate degree. I just don’t know what in.

Accounting was practical, and I am good with numbers/math, but I am creative and no longer want to go into a field just because it is practical. My husband will not stand in my way of me pursuing a graduate degree in a new field, but he criticizes all fields that are not practical. We are very different types. I will choose what I want to do, so I am prepared for him not to like whatever it is. All of our friends have graduate degrees but me, so at least he is pro-education.

Because of my age, I feel a sense of urgency in choosing a field. The degrees I’ve considered typically take two years, but making this decision has become overwhelming. I don’t want to make a mistake and spend the next 10 to 20 years doing something else I find boring. I may not know what I want, but I do know what I don’t want.

A: You may be feeling a bit older now, but you are still at a great age for a career change, even if it means reeducating yourself to enter a new field. As someone in her late 30s, you

not happen as quickly as some have anticipated. It will be a challenging year for both buyers and sellers, but an important one in setting the stage for home sales to return to a sustainable pace over the next two to three years,” said Danielle Hale, Chief Economist for Realtor.com®. “With mortgage rates continuing to climb as the Fed navigates the economy to a soft-ish landing, higher costs will lead to fewer closings, but that doesn’t mean homebuying will stop entirely in 2023. Americans who are determined to make a move will find that staying up-to-date on the market, flexibility, creativity and a healthy dose of patience will go a long way toward success in the year ahead.”

Key 2023 housing trends and wildcards

• A second wind in the second half. Although home sales are expected to slow overall in 2023, Realtor.com®’s forecast points to the possibility of a second wind in buying activity in the second half of the year. With mortgage rate hikes projected to continue through March, the Spring season will likely be less busy than in a typical year as buyers and sellers recalibrate their expectations

have what Mina Brown, a 20-year executive career coach and consultant, refers to as a “long runway.” She says, “Careers rarely move in a straight line and can be unpredictable.” With a solid 20 years remaining in your future of work, you have plenty of time to make some bold choices and take more risks. Of course, planning a career change will usually net the best long-term results. Impulsive choices such as choosing numbers for a lottery ticket may work out sometimes, but those decisions are rarely a good idea when it comes to changing fields or industries. That also applies to rushing into a graduate program before you know what you want.

Brown’s career path presents a good example for many who want to move up in ability and responsibility. As founder and president of Dallasbased Positive Coach LLC and Coach Academy International, an accredited coach training firm, Brown works with senior executives, executive teams, managers and high-potential professionals in leadership, influence, conflict, team effectiveness and career management. As with most growth careers, before launching her own company, she moved up the ladder of responsibility and became chief financial officer of Aviall and senior vice president and general manager of its aerospace division. She had also held corporate management positions with large companies, beginning with a career in accounting at Price Waterhouse. When an upwardly mobile professional wants to further a career, it often means changing

around smaller budgets. This break could provide space for demand to renew as mortgage rates dip later in the year, when home shoppers will also have more options and bargaining power.

• A trifecta of budget barriers awaits buyers. In 2023, incomes are expected to grow (+3.9%), but not enough to offset higher mortgage rates (7.4%) and home prices (+5.4%), creating a trifecta of budget barriers. The typical monthly mortgage payment will be $2,430, 28% higher than in 2022, which will likely price many home shoppers out of the market. This will especially be a concern for first-time buyers. As rents will likely reach new highs, it will leave less room for saving towards a down payment. At the same time, some home shoppers may consider exploring new financial options like adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs), a trend that has already begun to take shape in 2022.

• It isn’t ‘08. During the mid2000s housing boom, home sales were elevated for more than five years, and it took another five years for home sales to recover from the economic aftermath. Comparatively, mortgage rate hikes have brought a quicker but less dramatic end to the recent frenzy, during which buyers have

companies as well as jobs to support the desired growth.

In “Be Smart: Sail Past the Hazards of Conventional Career Advice,” co-authors Mina Brown and Paula Asinof have determined seven degrees of difficulty to consider before changing a job or a career: location, industry, company size, job function (e.g., accounting, sales), role (e.g., corporate, consultant, small business, solopreneur), compensation, and professional or management level. Each of these variables involved in any career change will add complexity to the process, make it more difficult and take longer to make the move. For example, if location is not a concern in one’s job search, that will create smooth sailing in that category. If the

been better qualified than in ‘08. Moving forward, home price growth will slow and may even decline periodically as prices largely stabilize over the next twoto-three years. The homeownership rate is predicted to hold in 2023.

• Some homeowners could still make bank. In 2023, the typical homeowner is projected to gain $25,650 in equity as prices keep rising. With real estate wealth already much higher than preCOVID, these trends offer a positive reality check for sellers who have been increasingly pessimistic about entering the market as listing prices have pulled back from last year’s peak. While bidding wars won’t be the norm in 2023, sellers who have owned their home for a longer period of time are still likely to make a profit. And those living in relatively affordable areas may still command offers above asking, driven by continued home shopper interest in relocating to lowerpriced markets.

• 2023 puts the “wild” in wildcards: Political and economic events can always shake up the housing outlook, as was the case with major financial shifts in 2022. Along with factors including supply chain disruptions and the conflict in Ukraine, markets have

career changer has decided against working for a small company, being offered a position in a small company may be a deal breaker. Choosing one’s values and priorities in advance will avoid confusion when opportunities present themselves. It may not be wise to accept an interview if a company does not meet one’s desires for the ne! w job. Creating a list of “I do want” and “I don’t want” will help you identify and stick to your values. Brown reminds job changers: “Your job is what you are paid for; your purpose is what you are made for. Ultimately, if a job doesn’t help you grow, let it go.”

largely begun to adjust for these changes, such as with the Fed’s efforts to combat inflation with rate hikes. As such, forecasted 2023 housing trends don’t anticipate a major shakeup like a recession, but it’s still a possibility. Buyers and sellers should keep an eye out for risk signs like a substantial weakening in the jobs market, beyond the mild uptick in unemployment that is projected, as businesses are potentially disrupted by shifting geopolitical, financial and economic conditions. Although a potential recession may lead to lower mortgage rates, ultimately buyers’ purchasing power would suffer. And for sellers, this would likely mean less demand and potential price drops.

• “Of the many factors that are expected to affect the housing market in 2023, affordability tops the list of issues most likely to make or break buyers’ plans. Still, our forecast does offer promise for home shoppers who are wellprepared. Tools like Realtor. com®’s Buying Power can help you understand how various rate changes and options impact your budget, and seamlessly integrate into the home search experience to help you stay on track financially,” Hale added.

Wall Street slips on worries about high inflation, rates

BY STAN CHOE AP BUSINESS WRITERS

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are slipping on Wall Street Thursday amid worries that inflation is remaining hotter than feared.

The S&P 500 was 0.4% lower after a report showed inflation at the wholesale level slowed by less last month than economists forecast. It echoed a report on prices at the consumer level from earlier this week that suggested inflation isn’t cooling as quickly and as smoothly as hoped.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 130 points, or 0.4%, at 33,999, as of 1:02 p.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.4% lower. They pared earlier losses, with the Dow down 410 points at one point.

Stocks have been churning recently as worries about sticky inflation joust against data suggesting the economy remains more resilient than feared. The worry has been that persistently high inflation will push the Federal Reserve to get even more aggressive on interest rates. Higher rates can drive down inflation but also drag on investment prices and raise the risk of a serious recession.

Such fears have been most clear in the

bond market, where yields have leaped this month as traders up their bets for how high the Fed will take interest rates this year.

The yield on the two-year Treasury, which tends to track expectations for Fed action, rose to 4.64% from less than 4.60% before the inflation report’s release and from less than 4.10% earlier this month. It’s near its highest level since November, when the yield reached levels last seen in 2007 before the Great Recession.

The 10-year Treasury yield, which helps set rates for mortgages and other loans, rose to 3.83% from 3.80% late Wednesday.

Thursday’s report showed that prices at the wholesale level were 6% higher last month than a year earlier. While that was a slowdown from December’s 6.5% inflation rate, it was worse than the 5.4% that economists expected to see. Perhaps more alarming was that inflation accelerated in January on a month-to-month basis even after stripping out prices for food, energy and other layers.

The inflation report thudded onto Wall Street along with a batch of other data painting a mixed picture of the economy.

Fewer workers applied for jobless benefits last week than expected, a

sign that layoffs remain low across the economy. That’s good news for workers and another signal of strength for the job market, but the Fed worries it could also add upward pressure on inflation.

Other reports, meanwhile, showed an index of manufacturing activity in the mid-Atlantic region plunged this month, while homebuilders broke ground on fewer homes last month than economists expected.

Altogether, the reports added doubt to the hopes on Wall Street that the Federal Reserve could pull off the tightrope walk of slowing the economy just enough to stamp out inflation but not so much that it creates a severe recession.

The Fed has already hiked its key overnight rate up to a range of 4.50% to 4.75%, up from basically zero a year ago. It has said that it expects to push through a couple more increases before holding rates at a high level at least through the end of this year.

The strong recent reports on inflation and the job market have forced Wall Street to align its forecasts for rates closer to the Fed’s. Earlier this year, there was a wide disconnect between them. Investors were betting the Fed wouldn’t go as high as it was saying, while also holding out significant hopes for a cut to rates in the latter part of the year.

The fear now is that if inflation proves sticker than expected that the Fed will have to go beyond what it’s been prepping the market for.

Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, said in a speech Thursday that she saw “a compelling economic case” at the Fed’s meeting earlier this month to raise rates by double what it ended up doing. The Fed on Feb. 2 raised its key overnight rate by 0.25 percentage points, the latest downshift in its size of increases from earlier hikes of 0.50 and 0.75 points.

Some stocks on Wall Street were able to buck the overall downward trend after reporting stronger earnings for the latest quarter than expected. Networking giant Cisco Systems rose 6.3%, and waste services company Republic Services gained 3.7%, for example.

Big tech stocks were helping to lead the overall market lower, though, because they’re seen as some of the most vulnerable to higher interest rates. In earlier years, their stocks shot higher in part because of record-low interest rates.

A 1.4% fall for Microsoft and 1.6% drop for Nvidia were some of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500.
