Homebuyers are pulling back, and prices are finally following.
Prices are still rising, but the gains are shrinking.
In June, prices nationally rose 6.2 percent year-over-year, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices. That is down from the 6.4 percent annual gain in May.

Homebuyers are pulling back, and prices are finally following.
Home prices are still rising, but the gains are shrinking. In June, prices nationally rose 6.2 percent year-over-year, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices. That is down from the 6.4 percent annual gain in May.
Home prices in the nation's 10 largest housing markets rose 6 percent annually, down from 6.2 percent in the previous month. In the 20 largest markets, prices were up 6.3 percent, down from 6.5 percent in May.

"Even as home prices keep climbing, we are seeing signs that growth is easing in the housing market," said David Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices in a release. "Sales of both new and existing homes are roughly flat over the last six months amidst news stories of an increase in the number of homes for sale in some markets."
Rising mortgage rates are also taking their toll. The rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage rose from around 4 percent at the start of the year to just over 4.5 percent now. That directly affects housing affordability.
Prices are still higher because of the shortage of homes for sale in general and particularly at the entry level of the market.
The supply of homes for sale in July was unchanged from a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors. While it wasn't a gain, it was the first time it didn't show a negative annual reading in a few years. Builders still are not producing enough new entry-level homes to meet demand, and potential sellers are holding back, concerned they won't be able to find or afford a different home.
Home price gains are still quite strong in the West, where supplies are leanest, but those gains are shrinking as well. Las Vegas, Seattle and San Francisco continue to lead the pack in price gains. In June, Las Vegas led the way with a 13 percent year-over-year price increase, followed by Seattle with a 12.8 percent increase and San Francisco with a 10.7 percent increase. Six of the 20 cities reported greater price increases in the year ending June 2018 versus the year ending May 2018.
"Population and employment growth often drive homes prices," Blitzer said. "Las Vegas is among the fastest growing U.S. cities based on both employment and population, with its unemployment rate dropping below the national average in the last year."
The Northeast and Midwest are seeing smaller home price increases, as prices there weren't quite as hot to begin with, and more supply is coming on the market. Some markets in the Northeast are also being hit by new tax laws. Washington, Chicago and New York showed the three slowest annual price gains among the 20 cities covered by the report.

S&P y Nasdaq tocan máximos históricos en Wall St ante menor temor a guerra comercial | Reuters

(Reuters) - Los índices bursátiles de Estados Unidos subían el martes, con el referencial S&P 500 y el Nasdaq alcanzando nuevos máximos históricos, luego de que un acuerdo comercial entre Estados Unidos y México calmó los temores sobre una guerra comercial a nivel global.

* Si bien el sector industrial, muy sensible al comercio, subía un 0,24 por ciento, las ganancias eran lideradas por las acciones relacionadas con las materias primas. Los títulos de las empresas de metales y energía ganaban de la mano de una subida de los precios del crudo Brent y de los metales.

* México y Estados Unidos llegaron el lunes a un acuerdo bilateral como parte de la renegociación del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN) y llamaron a Canadá a aceptar los nuevos términos sobre el comercio de autos y otros asuntos para mantener el pacto trilateral.

* Se espera que la canciller canadiense, Chrystia Freeland, viaje a Washington para conversar el martes sobre el tema. En tanto, el secretario del Tesoro de Estados Unidos, Steve Mnuchin, dijo a CNBC que creía que se podía llegar a un acuerdo esta semana. * También impulsaban a Wall Street las noticias desde la Casa Blanca de que el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, y la canciller alemana Angela Merkel “apoyaban firmemente las discusiones en curso” sobre comercio.

* “Los mercados han estado en llamas y están siendo impulsados ​​por el optimismo económico y porque los temores sobre los aranceles han disminuido”, dijo Andre Bakhos, director general de New Vines Capital LLC en Bernardsville, Nueva Jersey.

* En las operaciones de la mañana, el promedio industrial Dow Jones subía 57,86 puntos, o 0,22 por ciento, a 26.107,50 unidades, mientras que el S&P 500 ganaba 4,91 puntos, o 0,17 por ciento, a 2.901,65 unidades. El Nasdaq Composite, en tanto, avanzaba 11,95 puntos, o 0,15 por ciento, a 8.029,84 unidades.

* Ocho de los 11 principales subíndices del S&P 500 subían en la sesión, liderados por la ganancia de 0,45 por ciento del sector de materias primas, seguido por el aumento de 0,49 por ciento del sector energético.

* Los sectores defensivos caían en la sesión. El de telecomunicaciones disminuía un 0,12 por ciento y el de servicios públicos perdía un 0,1 por ciento.
