CHICAGO IL REAL ESTATE STATS PACK – June 9 2008
Good Morning!
More distressing real estate news we’re afraid!
At the end of the First Quarter 2008 6.35% of U.S. Homeowners were at least month behind in their mortgage payments. This figure is up 9% from the Fourth Quarter 2007 and is the worst rate of delinquencies and foreclosures since 1979 according to a survey from the Mortgage Bankers Association released last week.
A very high 0.99% of homeowners were notified of the start of foreclosure proceedings last quarter versus 0.83% at the end of 2007 – a jump of 19% in new foreclosure filings quarter-over-quarter.

OBSERVATIONS
Strong rebounds across the board this week – and that is encouraging!
Listing Inventory was stable over the past week while Properties Pending Sale jumped sharply – over 26%!. The Average Sales Price for Single Family Condos and Small Investment Apartment Buildings – two-four units – rebounded as well although the average was down considerably last week. Average Market Time continues high.
The number of Sold Properties and Expired Property Listings increased for the second week even though it is mid-month.
Due to the increase in Average Sales Price Sales Volume increased nearly 40% last week. Let’s see if the trend continues next week.
Absorption Rate or average inventory turnover was pretty much stable this past week – but is still high in parts of the City of Chicago. The rate currently stands just over 27.2 months down just 1% since last Sunday.
Percentage of Sale Within Six Month (180 Days) improved nearly 3/4 percent this past week to 22.57%. It is still very low however – reflecting continued high average market times.
RATE AND MARKET CHECK
Average 30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rates were virtually unchanged over the past week. Average rates averaged 6.09% for the week ending June 5th versus 6.08% for the week ending May 29th. One year ago average 30-Year Fixed Mortgage Interest Rates were 6.53%.
"Interest rates for fixed-rate mortgages were nearly unchanged this week over reports of continued inflation" said Frank Nothaft Freddie Mac Vice President and Chief Economist. "Although the gross domestic product grew at a faster rate in the first quarter than originally reported consumer spending rose only 1 percent representing the smallest increase since the 2001 recession."
"In addition the core price deflator was revised downward to an annualized rate of 2.1 percent and remained at that pace in April but this is still above the Federal Reserve’s stated comfort zone."
