Employers add 223,000 new jobs in May - Unemployment rate drops to 3.8% - The Department of Labor Statistics reported that U.S. employers added 223,000 new jobs in May. That exceeded the 190,000 that analysts expected. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.8%, the lowest reading since 2000. The unemployment rate has steady declined from its peak of 10% in 2009. Average hourly wages grew 2.7% from May 2017. California added 39,300 jobs in April and unemployment dropped to a record low - The Employment Development Department reported that 39,300 new jobs were created in April. The statewide unemployment rate dropped to 4.2%. Stock markets higher in May despite huge daily swings - It was a crazy turbulent month for stocks with daily swings in the DOW of as much as 450 points, yet stocks ended the month higher. Major news included the announcement of tariffs against China, followed by an announcement that a deal was in place and tariffs were on hold, followed by an announcement of even more tariffs just one week later. In the closing days of the month tariffs were placed on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and The European Union. China, Canada, Mexico, and The EU retaliated with tariffs on U.S. goods. These on and off again trade wars caused stocks to fluctuate sharply. The Fed also released a statement that led investors to believe they were not as hawkish on raising interest rates as many had felt. That was well received. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the month at 24,415, up from its April 30, 2018 close of 24,163. The S&P 500 closed the month of May at 2,795, up from its April 30, 2018 close of 2,648.

The 30-year treasury bond yield ended the month at 3.00%, down from 3.11% on April 30. We watch bond rates because mortgage rates follow bond rates. Mortgage Rates end month almost unchanged - Mortgage rates spiked in May, but they settled back down in the last week of May, to end the month just slightly higher. The May 31, 2018 Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Survey reported that the 30 year fixed mortgage rate average was 4.56%, almost unchanged from 4.55% on May 3, 2018. The 15 year fixed was 4.06%, up slightly from 4.03% on May 3. The 5-year ARM was 3.80% up from 3.69% on May 3. U.S. existing home sales pace slows and prices increase in April - The National Association of Realtors announced that the number of sales of existing homes nationwide dropped 1.6% on a year over year basis in April. It should be noted that U.S. existing home sales were at record levels in 2017, so even with a slight drop, although not optimal, sales numbers are still at a robust level. Prices continued to increase. The median price paid for a home nationally was up 5.3% from last April, the 74th straight month of year over year increases. The number of existing homes for sale were 6.3% lower than last April. The unsold inventory index nationwide had a 4 month supplyof housing available for sale, down from a 4.2 month supply last April. That was the 42nd straight month of year over year inventory level declines. The western region of the U.S. showed even better results. Sales for the western region were down just 0.8% year over year and the median price was 6.8% higher than last April. California existing home sales and prices increase in April - The California Association of Realtors reported that total existing home sales totaled 416,790 in April, on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate, that was2.2% higher than last April's sales rate.

The unsold inventory index in April had a 3.2 month supply of homes, up from a 2.9 month supply in March, but still lower than a 3.3 month supply in April 2017. Housing Affordability index rises in first quarter of 2018 - The California Association of Realtors reported that 31% of home buyers could afford to purchase a median-priced existing single-family home in California in first-quarter of 2018. That was up from 29% in the fourth quarter of 2017. Year over year affordability was down slightly. The index stood at 32% in the first quarter of 2017.

Stocks higher this week – Stocks soared on Monday after an announcement that The U.S. and China would hold off on imposing any new tariffs. It was first reported that China had agreed to encourage purchases of U.S. goods in order to reduce the trade imbalance between the two countries. Throughout the week it became apparent that there was no actual deal in place and stocks gave up much of their gains from the beginning of the week. Interest rates dropped after minutes were released from the May Federal Reserve meeting in which they made statements reiterating that interest rate rises will remain gradual. This year a new Fed Chairman was appointed and almost half of the voting members have been replaced. Investors speculated that the new makeup of the Fed leaned towards more aggressive increases. The minutes from the May meeting calmed investors, and bond and mortgage rates dropped. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the week at 24,753.08, up from last week’s close of 24,715.09. It is up 0.1% year-to-date. The S&P 500 closed the week at 2,721.23, up from 2,712.97 last week. It’s up 1.8% year-to-date. The NASDAQ closed at 7,433.85, up from 7,354.34 last week. It is up 7.7% year-to-date.
Treasury Bond yields drop this week – The 10-year treasury bond closed the week yielding 2.93%, down from 3.06% last week. The 30-year treasury bond yield ended the week at 3.09%, down from 3.20% last week. Mortgage Rates higher this week – The May 24, 2018 Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Survey reported that the 30-year fixed mortgage rate average was 4.66%, up from last week’s 4.61%. The 15-year fixed was 4.15%, up from 4.08% last week. The 5-year ARM was 3.87%, up from 3.82% last week. Rates dropped Thursday and Friday, so next week’s rates will be lower. U.S. existing home sales pace slows and prices increase in April – The National Association of Realtors announced that the number of sales of existing homes nationwide dropped 1.6% on a year-over-year basis in April. It should be noted that U.S. existing home sales were at record levels in 2017, so even with a slight drop, although not optimal, sales numbers are still at a robust level.

That was the 42nd straight month of year-over-year inventory level declines. The western region of the U.S. showed even better results. Sales for the western region were down just 0.8% year-over-year and the median price was 6.8% higher than last April. California added 39,300 jobs in April and unemployment dropped to a record low – The Employment Development Department reported that 39,300 new jobs were created in April. The statewide unemployment rate dropped to 4.2%.

That was up from 29% in the fourth quarter of 2017. Year-over-year affordability was down slightly. The index stood at 32% in the first quarter of 2017. Author, Syd Leibovitch California existing home sales and prices increase in April – The California Association of Realtors reported that total existing home sales totaled 416,790 in April, on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate, that was 2.2% higher than last April’s sales rate.

The unsold inventory index in April had a 3.2 month supply of homes, up from a 2.9 month supply in March, but still lower than a 3.3 month supply in April 2017.
Stocks lower for the week – Higher interest rates and renewed trade talks put pressure on stocks this week. Oil prices reached a three year high, which some believe will spark inflation levels and cause the Federal Reserve to raise rates more swiftly. At the same time, the dollar straightening to a 5 month high. That makes imports less expensive and lowers inflationary pressure. We will have to wait and see. Experts are mixed on whether bond rates have topped out for the year. The 10-year treasury bond yield topped 3% this week, and hit 3.11% at one point before dropping back. Higher interest rates increase corporate borrowing costs, which lowers profits. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the week at 24,715.09, down from last week’s close of 24,831.17. It is unchanged year-to-date. The S&P 500 closed the week at 2,712.97, down from 2,727.72 last week. It’s up 1.5% year-to-date. The NASDAQ closed at 7,354.34, down from 7,402.88 last week. It is up 6.5% year-to-date. Treasury Bond yields much higher this week – The 10-year treasury bond closed the week yielding 3.06%, up sharply from 2.94% last week.The 30-year treasury bond yield ended the week at 3.20%, up from 3.10% last week. Mortgage Rates higher this week – The May 17, 2018 Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Survey reported that the 30-year fixed mortgage rate average was 4.61%, up from last week’s 4.55%. The 15-year fixed was 4.08%, up from 4.01% last week. The 5-year ARM was 3.82% up from 3.77% last week.
