As we navigate the fall real estate market, it's critical to stay informed about the latest trends in the housing market. Now more than ever, if you want to get your home sold this year, your home needs to be priced correctly. Mortgage interest rates are at a 20 year high as they are approaching 8%. The increase in mortgage rates, soaring sales prices, and a shortage of available homes for sale have significantly affected the market. Compared to the spring and summer real estate market, the current fall market has cooled. We have noticed more price reductions on homes that need updating and these homes are experiencing more market time. Desirable homes that are priced appropriately are still receiving multiple offers after a weekend of open houses. As the dynamics of each local market is specialized, contact us to discuss your unique home buying or selling situation. Read on for local events in October, real estate news, and discover lifestyle home tips. |

| Housing Market Predictions for 2023: When will home prices be affordable again? |
| Though winter may still be months away, housing market activity is already cooling due to eye popping home prices and interest rates may be on the verge of a deep freeze. The national average 30-year mortgage rate rose to a 23-year high of 7.49% in the first week of October, according to Freddie Mac. Given current rate conditions, it’s no wonder that year-over-year existing home sales sagged for the third consecutive month, slipping by 0.7%, with all four major U.S. regions posting declines, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Nonetheless, the housing market remains competitive for prospective buyers. With many homeowners “locked in” at low interest rates and unwilling to sell, demand continues to exceed for sale inventory. |
