YOUR REAL ESTATE QUESTION

WHAT ARE THE 2022 REAL ESTATE MARKET PROJECTIONS?

A very common question this time of year especially as 2021 will be a historic real estate market for the record books. All predictions indicate the market will remain strong in 2022 but will begin to normalize. Appreciation will see deceleration, meaning home values will continue to appreciate but at a lower rate than we have seen in the past 12 months. According to FMLS the average appreciation rate for October in the six-county metro area was 18.7% year over year. It is an excellent time for sellers to leverage their equity while prices are strong and mortgage interest rates are at historic lows. According to Doug Duncan, SVP Chief Economist Fannie Mae, mortgage interest rates are expected to slowly increase in 2022 from 3.5% to 3.6% by the end of the year. Mortgage origination is expected to rise nationally by 9% to a record $1.73 trillion according to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Finally, the pressure many buyers have experienced these last 18 months will begin to ease as new home construction inventory and existing home inventory rises offering more choices. If you would like to know more about the real estate market or are ready to find the next place you want to call home let’s start a conversation. Wishing everyone a very merry holiday season and a prosperous, happy new year.
