The growth of the market value of all owner-occupied real estate in the United States slowed in the second quarter of 2022, according to the latest results from the Federal Reserve’s Flow of Funds report. The contraction in the second quarter follows the largest year-over-year percentage gain since 2001 in the first quarter, according to an analysis by the NAHB.
The market value of owner-occupied real estate increased $1.5 trillion to $41.2 trillion in the second quarter of 2022, on a non-seasonally adjusted basis.
Household real estate assets’ year-over-year gain in the second quarter was 15.9%, down from 16.2% the prior quarter. Quarter-over-quarter increases slowed from 4.3% to 3.7% in Q2 2022 in line with slowing home price growth. Remodeling also contributed to the slowdown in total market value as a remodeling activity declined both year-over-year as well as quarter-over-quarter.
Real-estate secured liabilities of households’ balance sheets, i.e., mortgages, home equity loans, and HELOCs, increased 2.2% over the prior quarter and 8.0%, year-over-year.
