Rates
Speaking of rates . . .
The rise in interest rates is likely to continue for the next 6-12 months. At that point, economists predict (barring some unforeseen event) that rates are likely to level off. So, while rates hovering near 6-7% may seem high (especially when compared to 2.5% we saw in 2021) increased rates are not having the sobering effect on local housing values many thought they would.
Trends
Local trends for the past few years have been nothing if not steady. Inventory continues to be historically low with many more buyers hunting for the perfect property than there are properties available. The upshot for buyers? Rising interest rates have capped buying power and competition is starting to slow . . . And for sellers? Homes that are appropriately priced are still flying off the market with multiple offers.
