Housing market to heal slowly amid high mortgage rates
The economy forecasts a modest housing recovery starting this fall but a full rebound to peak activity will be slow. Dr. Jack Carlson of the National Association of Realtors cites high mortgage rates and limited assumptions on existing mortgages as key factors, with 15 to 16 percent typical institutional rates and blended rates around 14 percent for creative financing. He notes likely gradual increases in existing home sales through 1989 into 1984 and housing starts rising slowly, with 1.5 million units annually needed to meet basic housing demand.
