WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE HOUSING MARKET?
With everything going on in the housing market right now, you may have a number of questions about what that means for you and your plans to buy a home. Here are three things that are likely top of mind for you:
- Why Did Mortgage Rates Rise So Much In 2022?
- What’s Happening with Home Prices?
- Should I Buy a Home Today?
In 2022, inflation reached a high not seen in 40 years. As it did, you probably felt the pinch at the gas pump and in the grocery store. But inflation did more than increase the cost of goods and services, it also led to the rapid rise in mortgage rates.
As mortgage rates rose, they impacted your purchasing power by increasing the cost of buying a home. And moving forward, experts agree rates will continue to respond to inflation. If inflation eases, rates may decline as a result.
Headlines about home prices can be confusing. While home price appreciation has cooled, where home prices will go from here will vary based on supply and demand in our local market.
