More Homes, Rising Prices, and Less Competition

Inventory has began to come back this week to show mostly an improvement from this time last year. The days on market is also indicating homes are selling faster then they were, which makes sense as we have moved farther away from the winter season. Home prices are continuing to rise, regardless of mortgage rates going back to around 6.5%. I can't see that changing anytime soon.


A better market is on the horizon, I just think with what's going on overseas the brakes have been put on. The rates will go back down, gas prices will drop, and a more balanced market is to come.


Right now, it is still a great time to sell. But I think the hesitation from some buyers due to current events creates a good opportunity for those that remain active in their search. There is less competition at the moment, which makes more room for negotiation.
