The first quarter of 2022 saw a spike in mortgage rates. The 156 basis point (1.56 percent) increase was the fastest three-month increase since May 1994, according to Freddie Mac.
Interest rates may continue to rise as the pandemic's economic impact fades, inflation rises to 40-year highs, and the Federal Reserve announces an aggressive policy strategy.
With the Fed announcing future rate hikes, mortgage markets have likely already factored in a significant portion of the impact. If the economy encounters headwinds, a surge in positive Covid instances could result in some weekly drops.
Experts from the Mortgage Bankers Association, the National Association of Realtors, and other industry experts disagree on whether 30-year mortgage rates will rise or remain flat in June.

Will Housing Market Crash in 2022?
ย  ย 
The home price growth in the United States will โ€œmoderateโ€ or slow down in 2022, but shows no signs of a crash. The housing market has been along for much of the ride and continues to benefit greatly from the overall health of the economy. However, hot economies eventually cool and with that, hot housing markets are expected to move more towards balance.
ย  ย 
The latest housing market trends show that prices are rising in most parts of the country and most price segments because of the lack of supply, St. Louis has seen a considerable decline in supply since 2012. Economic activities are ramping up in all the sectors, mortgage rates are rising, and jobs are also recovering. As of now, low mortgage rates are providing opportunities for buyers to lock in low monthly mortgage payments for future years.
ย  ย ย 
The graphs show the data trends in the St. Louis County market from January 2011 to December 2021 for;
  • Average Sales Price,
  • Average % of List Price Paid
  • Median Price Per Sqft
  • Months Supply of Housing Inventory
ย  ย 
Each data point is 12 months of activity. Data is from December 7, 2021. All data from MARIS.

St. Louis County is anxious to capitalize on the low housing inventory and the low interest rate environment driving housing prices higher this past year. Although the appeal deadline is in July, the assessor is posting values on the Internet, and soon they should be sending out 2021 residential notices. Per statute, if the county raises a home value 15% or higher than the previous value (in 2019), the county is required to send a special notice in the form of a postcard asking the homeowner if they want an interior inspection performed. This protocol was in response to a change in the law when drive-by assessments were criticized many years ago.
