3 charts we are watching: What is the next delta in housing?

The Market Ear Picture

Maginot Line or strong bottom formation...?

The Goldman "Housing Activity" index has been remarkably steady lately. "The index held at 5 for the week, as the offsetting effects of lower supply and higher home prices have kept it in a relatively narrow range in recent weeks. This comes as purchase applications hold near a new cycle low, 43% below 2019 levels". Follow this index closely for clues of the next delta in housing.
