Palo Alto Housing Market Grids To A Halt as Forbes States That Recession Continues – November 2022
Talis Team
Nov 4, 2022
Third quarter GDP rose by 2.6% reversing it’s earlier trend. But many economists are still pessimistic about the direction of the economy. Bloomberg put probability of the recession at 100% in 2023 and Forbes says that we are already in a recession. Quoting from Forbes: “The only saving grace of the GDP report was its headline +2.6%.” And continuing further in the same paragraph: “Excluding Net Exports, the domestic economy’s GDP growth was -0.2%. The Recession continues.”
It feels like Palo Alto housing market hit a wall in October. The number of sales fell by 60% compared to the same time of last year, 60%, and by 47% compared to September of 2022, just a month prior. With only 25 homes sold in the whole city, it is impossible to talk about the price changes. The statistical sample is too small for meaningful analysis. On the county level, however, median home sale price fell by 1.7% year-over-year, fist year-over-year decline since 2019. Again, on the county level October home sale prices fell by 14% compared to the April of 2022, the all-time price peak month.
This abrupt change in Palo Alto market activity was triggered by skyrocketing interest rates combined with falling stock market. By the end of October interest rates grew close to 7%, more than doubling from 3.25% level at the beginning of the year. This interest rate hike effects both the buyers and the sellers.
For the buyers, higher interest rates mean and increase in the cost of their loans. If you are a buyer looking for a home now, talk to your lender to get a custom interest rate quote and to convert it into your monthly payments. At the same time, slower market activity means that buyer will have less competition and more power in the negotiations. Afterall, Palo Alto inventory increased to 3.5 months getting close to a balanced market.
Higher interest rates may lead to fewer homes coming up for sale. Most of the current homeowners were able to refinance at the lowest possible interest rates during the last few years. For them moving to another house means that they have to get a new loan at much higher interest. This will discourage discretionary sales keeping housing inventories low.
And if you are a seller, it is critical more than ever to prepare your home for sale, price it right and be open to negotiate, negotiate with interested buyers. October median time on the market in Palo Alto was only 9 days – homes that present the best value for the buyers still sell as fast as last spring.

Please do a lot of research before buying or selling in this market. Maybe it makes sense not to make a move right now.

Report: Third of CMBS Showed Negative Leverage in Q3
GlobeSt.com|23 hours ago
A new report from Moody’s Analytics CRE signals an ominous inflection point for commercial real estate: nearly a third of new CMBS issuance was afflicted with negative leverage in the third quarter as interest rates surged.
The housing market may finally be at an inflection point. Data from Realtor.com released Thursday showed a steep decline in the median national list price for homes in October, while the share of homes with downward price adjustments has tripled since the start of the year.
The median national list price fell to $425,000 last month, down from a peak of $449,000 in June, while the percentage of homes on the market that have seen a price cut surged to 20.9% last month, doubling since October 2021.
At the same time, the overall inventory of active home sales across the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the US increased 46.4% over the past year through October.
“The housing market may finally be at an inflection point.”
Kinda early, IMHO.
Gotta wait for Brandon’s mid-terms magic fairy dust to wear-off, e.g., strategic petroleum reserve used to keep voter’s gas prices lower, renter moratoriums in liberal places like California, student loan forgiveness especially those Pell Grant beneficiaries, etc., in addition to Powell’s continued rate increases.
