Six Cities Leading Shift toward a Buyers’ Market, According to First American Real House Price Index

Published

Reading Time: 5 minutes

—Data on the movement of unadjusted house prices during the early
spring home-buying season won’t be available for a few more months, but
it’s quite likely that price appreciation will accelerate again, says
Chief Economist Mark Fleming—

SANTA ANA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–First
American Financial Corporation
(NYSE: FAF), a leading
global provider of title insurance, settlement services and risk
solutions for real estate transactions, today released the February 2019 First
American Real House Price Index (RHPI)
. The RHPI measures the price
changes of single-family properties throughout the U.S. adjusted for the
impact of income and interest rate changes on consumer house-buying
power over time at national, state and metropolitan area levels. Because
the RHPI adjusts for house-buying power, it also serves as a measure of
housing affordability.

February 2019 Real House Price Index

  • Real house prices decreased 0.4 percent between January 2019 and
    February 2019.
  • Real house prices increased 2.9 percent year over year.
  • Consumer house-buying power, how much one can buy based on changes in
    income and interest rates, increased 1.0 percent between January 2019
    and February 2019, and increased 2.4 percent year over year.
  • Average household income has increased 2.8 percent since February 2018
    and 55.0 percent since January 2000.
  • Real house prices are 14.0 percent less expensive than in January 2000.
  • While unadjusted house prices are now 2.3 percent above the housing
    boom peak in 2006, real, house-buying power-adjusted house prices
    remain 39.0 percent below their 2006 housing boom peak.

Chief Economist Analysis: Market Dynamics Shifting Toward Home Buyers

“Throughout 2018, consistent growth among three driving forces –
mortgage rates, household income and unadjusted house prices – defined
the housing market. These three factors are also the core elements of
the Real
House Price Index (RHPI)
,” said Mark Fleming, chief economist at
First American. “While household income rose steadily in 2018, rising
mortgage rates offset any affordability benefit for home buyers, as
illustrated by 11.1 percent year-over-year growth in the RHPI. However,
the first quarter of 2019 has been friendly to potential home buyers, as
declining mortgage rates, ongoing household income growth and moderating
unadjusted home prices has boosted affordability.”

Market Dynamics Shifting Toward Home Buyers

“In February, mortgage rates fell 0.9 percentage points compared with
the previous month and were only 0.04 percentage points higher than one
year ago. Flat mortgage rates are a welcome change for home buyers
following 2018 and the 2.8 percent year-over-year growth in household
income helped boost affordability,” said Fleming. “The result?
House-buying power increased 2.4 percent in February compared with one
year ago, and 1 percent compared with last month.

“Additionally, while unadjusted house price appreciation in February
persisted, the pace of appreciation slowed to 5.4 percent, compared with
the 7.1 percent year-over-year growth in February 2018. As a result,
real house price appreciation fell to 2.9 percent, the slowest
year-over-year pace since December 2017,” said Fleming.

Six Cities Where Affordability Increased

“While we know that rising household income and a decline in mortgage
rates caused real house price appreciation to slow nationally, real
house prices declined in a few markets,” said Fleming. “Compared with a
year ago, six cities saw year-over-year declines in the RHPI, signaling
an improvement in affordability.”

  1. San Jose, Calif. (-5.5 percent)
  2. Seattle (-4.5 percent)
  3. San Francisco (-2.1 percent)
  4. Los Angeles (-1.6 percent)
  5. Portland, Ore. (-1.1 percent)
  6. San Diego (-0.3 percent)

Supply Surge

“These coastal markets all have something in common: they were the
tightest and hottest markets of 2018. In the first half of 2018, rising
millennial demand amid a backdrop of limited inventory and increasing
mortgage rates put pressure on affordability, causing buyers to take a
step back,” said Fleming. “But now, affordability is on the rise and the
main reason is rising inventory.

“According to First American calculations of Realtor.com
February 2019 data, the number of listings in San Jose, Seattle and San
Francisco increased 124 percent, 89 percent and 52 percent respectively
compared with one year ago,” said Fleming. “As inventory enters the
market, buyers have more options, bidding wars are less likely, and
sellers are more likely to reduce list prices. In fact, these three
markets experienced the greatest yearly growth in the number of listings
with price reductions.”

Softening Sellers’ Markets

“These six markets may signal a broader shift in the housing market.
Across the nation, home buyers are benefiting from
lower-than-anticipated mortgage rates, rising wages and a slowdown in
unadjusted house price appreciation,” said Fleming. “Only the six
markets above showed a year-over year decline in the RHPI, but 37 out
the 44 top markets that we track showed month-over-month declines in the
RHPI in February.

“However, while these trends help home buyers, it’s too soon to call it
a buyers’ market. Unadjusted house prices are still rising and it’s
clear that demand continues to outstrip supply in most markets,” said
Fleming. “Data on the movement of unadjusted house prices during the
early spring home-buying season won’t be available for a few more
months, but it’s quite likely that price appreciation will accelerate
again.”

February 2019 Real House Price State Highlights

  • The five states with the greatest
    year-over-year increase in the RHPI are:
    New Hampshire (+8.1 percent), Wisconsin (+7.8 percent), Rhode Island
    (+6.5 percent), Ohio (+6.0 percent), and Georgia (+6.0 percent).
  • The five states with the greatest
    year-over-year decrease in the RHPI are:
    Wyoming (-6.2 percent), Louisiana (-2.4 percent), Alabama (-2.0),
    Oklahoma (-1.5 percent), and North Dakota (-1.5 percent).

    percent).

Schwazze Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

 FY 2023 Revenue of $172.4 Million; Income from Operations of $3.3 Million; Adjusted EBITDA of $53.4 Million or 31% of Revenue

 Generated $12.2 Million of Operating Cash Flow in FY 2023

DENVER, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., operating as Schwazze, (OTCQX: SHWZ) (Cboe: SHWZ) (“Schwazze” or the “Company”), today announced financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“This past year, the Schwazze team delivered solid top-line growth in two highly competitive markets with 31% adjusted EBITDA margins and improved operating cash flow,” said Forrest Hoffmaster, Interim CEO of Schwazze. “We continued to sharpen our retail strategy while expanding our store footprint by more than 50% to 63 dispensaries across our two markets. Although the Colorado and New Mexico markets were pressured in 2023, we have built a solid foundation with best-in-class service for our patients and customers. Internally, we are also relentlessly focused on maximizing the operating efficiencies of our manufacturing and cultivation facilities to drive higher yields, improved flower quality, and greater output.”

“With strong demand and over 680 recreational retail stores at year-end, the competitive landscape in Colorado is fierce, underscoring the importance of our investments in and attention to elevating the customer experience. We significantly outpaced the market in Q4 on a sequential and year-over-year basis and expect to bolster our growth through improvements in customer acquisition, retention, and loyalty, as well as in the overall retail experience. Additionally, we are beginning to see wholesale pricing stabilize, which we anticipate will continue based on plant counts and ongoing retail pricing pressure.”

“In New Mexico, the proliferation of new licenses has led to increased competition and aggressive pricing strategies from certain players. Cannabis sales in the state were up 18% across a store base that was over 50% higher year-over-year in Q4, leading to lower average revenue per store. While we are beginning to see a slow-down in net new store openings, we anticipate a challenging market ahead. We remain focused on cost optimization and asset utilization while implementing a balanced pricing and promotional strategy to drive traffic into our stores, where we believe we excel in delivering an elevated retail experience. We are committed to fulfilling our promise of being the retailer of choice in New Mexico.”

“Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the regulatory momentum in the industry at large. In the meantime, we will continue to elevate the customer experience, improve our loyalty program, increase our cost efficiencies, and enhance our retail assets. Our team has a demonstrated track record of executing in competitive markets like Colorado and New Mexico where we remain one of the largest operators. We look forward to driving growth and profitability across each of our markets in 2024.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 8% to $43.3 million compared to $40.1 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to growth from new stores compared to the prior year period and increased wholesale revenue, partially offset by pricing pressure from the proliferation of new licenses in New Mexico.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $7.0 million or 16.2% of total revenue, compared to $21.7 million or 54.1% of total revenue for the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by one-time, non-cash inventory adjustments of approximately $13.1 million comprised of $3.1 million of product consolidation, obsolescence, and shrinkage expenses, $4.3 million of net realizable value adjustments, and $5.8 million of fair value adjustments on acquired inventory in New Mexico in 2023. Adjusted gross profit, which excludes non-cash inventory adjustments, for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $20.2 million or 46.6% of revenue.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $23.3 million compared to $24.2 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to a lower impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2023. This was partially offset by an increase in four-wall SG&A expenses associated with the 22 additional stores in Colorado and New Mexico that are still ramping, as well as greater salaries and stock-based compensation.

Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $16.2 million compared to $2.5 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was driven by the aforementioned lower gross profit, primarily related to the non-cash inventory adjustment. Net loss was $33.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $27.3 million for the same quarter last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $11.0 million or 25.3% of revenue, compared to $13.3 million or 33.1% of revenue for the same quarter last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by higher operating expenses associated with the 22 additional stores that are still ramping.

As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $19.2 million compared to $38.9 million on December 31, 2022. Total debt as of December 31, 2023, was $156.8 million compared to $127.8 million on December 31, 2022.
