Although U.S. single-family rent growth was up by 12.6% in July year over year, the gains continued to slow from the historic high recorded in April. CoreLogic observes similar price growth relaxation in most major metro areas tracked in the SFRI, including popular Sun Belt cities that have seen rental costs skyrocket. Miami’s 30.6% annual price gain again topped the country in July but is down from the 40.8% year-over-year growth recorded in March 2022. Phoenix, which posted a 12.2% annual gain in July, saw rental cost growth drop by 6 percentage points from March.
After large increases in mortgage fraud risk for much of 2021, our 2022 Annual Mortgage Fraud Report shows a 7.5% year-over-year decrease in fraud risk at the end of the second quarter of 2022. The decline is partially due to the recalibration of our scoring model in the first quarter of 2022. However, higher risks were recorded during months in the second quarter, particularly for certain types of mortgage fraud.

Demand for second homes surged after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic nearly doubling the pre-pandemic demand level in late 2020. Flexibility to work remotely, coupled with record-low interest rates, induced the hike in second home demand in 2020 and 2021.Though remote work remains common in 2022 and will for the foreseeable future, low interest rates have vanished, while home prices are at record highs. As a result, home affordability has decreased for all, whether looking to buy a primary residence or a second home.
New homes have experienced the same record price appreciation that the overall market has seen in the past two years. In June, the annual appreciation for new home prices was 17%, which is only slightly below 20% for existing homes1. To develop a more complete picture of the overall market, we must also look at the number of sales — and those tell a different tale.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act imposed an obligation on lenders to make a good-faith effort to determine applicants have the ability to repay a mortgage, which is known as the ability-to-repay (ATR) rule. The act also mandates the QM cannot have risky loan features like negative-amortization, interest-only, balloon payments, terms beyond 30 years and no excessive points and fees.

Home prices rose a whopping 20% over the past year and rents on single-family homes were up 13%, according to the CoreLogic national Home Price Index and Single-Family Rent Index. With prices up more than rent, is it a sign that homes are overvalued? Price growth that outstrips rent gains over an extended period could be a sign that homes are overvalued if capitalization rates, otherwise called cap rates, had remained unchanged. A cap rate is used by real estate professionals to convert net operating income on an investment property into a market value.
If you are a homeowner living in California, Florida or parts of Missouri and have not already had installed solar panels or new roofing with a PACE loan, there is still a good chance that you know a friend or neighbor who has, or you’ve been pitched by private contractors selling PACE. PACE is an abbreviation for Property Assessed Clean Energy. As the name indicates, PACE provides financing for green and renewable energy home improvements, although it is not limited to such. Retrofitting properties with energy upgrades is costly, and PACE provides incentives such as 100% long-term financing.
