CONDO REPORT

The somewhat volatile condo sales history shown below highlights the strength of 2015 YTD sales. These sales reflect much needed improvement in the condo market from the struggles of 2009-2012.

• In northern Berkshire, Williamstown drives the far majority of the condo market, recording 9 of the 11 sales.

• In central Berkshire, falling condo median prices in Pittsfield and Dalton drove the average down -38%. • In southern Berkshire, Lee and Great Barrington showed improvements, but strong sales in Lenox and

Stockbridge drove the exceptional gains recorded.

LAND REPORT Considered a positive sign, the US census Bureau reports that in 2014, 177 building permits were reported for Berkshire County. Historically, raw land sales rates correlate to the building permits. The small upswing in 2015 sales rates for the county could be the beginning of a strengthen land market.

A LOOK AHEAD: APPLICATIONS FOR PURCHASE MORTGAGES: TRID EFFECTS? • Nationwide, applications for purchase mortgages surged +11.9 percent for the week ending November

13th after a tepid 0.1 percent gain in the prior week, but the 4-week moving average remains strong.

• The volume of applications surged in the lead up to the implementation of the new Know Before You Owe (KBYO or TRID) rules on October 3rd, pulling forward many applications that would have registered later in October. A boom and bust pattern developed in subsequent weeks, which appears to have stabilized and gained traction with a new crop of buyers.

• The average contract rate on a 30-year fixed inched 6 basis points higher to 4.18 percent. Though slightly up from last week, it is roughly in line with the 4.17 percent average rate at the same time in 2014.

• Rising rates tend to have a stronger impact on refinances than on purchase applications, but refinance gained only 2.0 percent lagging the outsized gains in the purchase market.
