But the economy has been remarkably resilient. Why? One reason is employment and wages have stayed strong. Let\u2019s look at the latest information on each one and why both are good news if you\u2019re thinking about selling your house.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>More Jobs Are Being Created<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Instead of facing the job losses typical of any recession, the economy has been growing and adding jobs. According to the <em>Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/em> (BLS), <strong>187,000 jobs were created in July<\/strong>, which is up from the 185,000 created in June. That means more people are finding work. In fact, so many jobs are being added that the unemployment rate is far lower than the long-term average of 5.7% (<em>see graph below<\/em>):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/content\/images\/20230822\/20230824-Unemployment-Rate-Declined-In-July.png?ssl=1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.keepingcurrentmatters.com\/content\/images\/20230822\/20230824-Unemployment-Rate-Declined-In-July.png?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A low unemployment rate means that most people who want to work are finding jobs. When people have jobs, they have steady incomes \u2013 and that can help set them up to consider homeownership.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>People Are Making More Money<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>And data also shows hourly earnings have been going up pretty steadily over the past few years (<em>see graph below<\/em>):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/content\/images\/20230822\/20230824-Hourly-Earnings-Rise-4.4--from-last-year.png?ssl=1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.keepingcurrentmatters.com\/content\/images\/20230822\/20230824-Hourly-Earnings-Rise-4.4--from-last-year.png?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When wages rise, people have more money that they could save or use toward buying a home. This increase in income helps offset some of the affordability challenges in the housing market today. Affordability depends on three main factors: wages, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2023\/08\/11\/home-prices-are-back-on-the-rise-infographic\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">home prices<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2023\/08\/03\/how-inflation-affects-mortgage-rates\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">mortgage rates<\/a>. With higher home prices and mortgage rates right now, <em>Builder Online<\/em> summarizes how growing wages can help:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c<\/em><strong><em>The housing market has been a beneficiary of the strong economy and labor market. <\/em><\/strong><em>Many of those employed have saved money over the past few years and used those funds toward a down payment on a home.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2023\/08\/01\/sellers-dont-let-these-two-things-hold-you-back\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">selling<\/a> your house, a strong job market, growing wages, and the resulting buyer demand is fantastic news.
