The compulsory purchase of insurance by a mortgage borrower to protect their lender from a loan default is under investigation, according to a report from the leading financial news agency, Bloomberg.
Months of Supply Inventory (MSI) quantifies the supply/demand relationship by measuring how many months it would take for all current homes listed on the market to sell at the current rate of sales. The long-term average MSI is around four to five months in Texas, which indicates a balanced market. An MSI lower than four indicates that there are more buyers than sellers on the market (meaning it’s a sellers’ market), while an MSI higher than five indicates there are more sellers than buyers (meaning it’s a buyers’ market). MSI trended higher in the second half of 2023, indicating a shift in the market from favoring sellers for single-family homes and condos to a more balanced market. From February to April 2024, however, MSI fell significantly, indicating the housing market now favors sellers for single-family homes, is balanced for condos, and favors buyers for high-rise condos.
