What's Ahead for Mortgage Rates and

Home Prices?

As you plan to sell your house and make your move, you may be wondering what lies ahead for mortgage rates and home prices. Here’s a look at expert insights on where both may be headed so you can make the most informed decision possible.

Mortgage Rates Will Continue To Respond to Inflation

There’s no doubt mortgage rates skyrocketed in 2022 as the market responded to high inflation. The increases we saw were fast and dramatic, and the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate even surpassed 7% in the fall. It was the first time they’d risen that high in over 20 years.

In their quarterly report, Freddie Mac explains just how fast the climb in rates has been:

“Just one year ago, rates were under 3%. This means that while mortgage rates are not as high as they were in the 80s, they have more than doubled in the past year. Mortgage rates have never doubled in a year before.”

Because we’re in unprecedented territory, it’s hard to say with certainty where mortgage rates will go from here. Projecting the future of mortgage rates is far from an exact science, but experts agree that mortgage rates will continue to respond to inflation. And, if inflation eases, mortgage rates likely will too.

4

Home Price Changes Will Vary by Market

As buyer demand has eased in response to those higher mortgage rates, home prices have moderated in many markets too. Regarding the forecast for 2023, some experts call for slight price growth while others are projecting small price declines (see graph below). The best way to look at it is to average the expert forecasts together to get the full picture. When we do that, on a national level, it's roughly neutral or flat appreciation projected for 2023.

Home price appreciation will vary by the local market, with more significant changes happening in overheated areas. It all depends on other factors in that local market, like the balance between supply and demand. As Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American, says:

“House price appreciation has slowed in all 50 markets we track, but the deceleration is generally more dramatic in areas that experienced the strongest peak appreciation rates.”

Bottom Line

If you want to know what’s happening with home prices or mortgage rates, let’s connect, so you have the latest information on what experts are saying and what that means for our area.

FIRE FEATURE

se chilly winter months y have you considering ing some type of fire terpiece to your outdoor g space. Whether it's for warmth they provide, r romantic glow, or the ught of additional entertainment opportunities ide, fire features are popular, and once alled are an easy way to ance your overall erty.

ding which type of fire ment is best for you may e challenging. So, we've piled several factors to sider and questions to wer when determining t type is best for your e

First, check your local HOA rules and fire regulations to learn what types of fires are allowed in your neighborhood. For example, is wood-burning, gas, or propane an acceptable fire source? Is there a particular distance the flame needs to be from a structure or fence? Is there a recommended height of the feature?, Etc.

Next, consider your budget and make an informed decision about whether to hire a qualified contractor to build the feature, purchase something store-bought, or build one yourself If you'll need to run a gas line to the feature be sure to include

O O S I N G A N E X T E R I O R
6

that expense in your budget, as well as any decorative features you'll need to add, such as lava rocks, logs, fire glass, etc.

Consider the amount of space you have and what type of design would best fit in that location. What type of furniture do you see around your fire attraction- is it easily moveable, heavy or built-in place? Be sure to allow adequate seating and walk space around your fire so it gets utilized comfortably.

Be mindful of the overall purpose of your fire feature Is your desire to create an intimate setting with just a few cozy seats, or do you prefer a grand statement piece with ample surrounding space to accommodate a larger group?

Do you prefer to listen to the crackling of a wood-burning

fire, or would you rather enjoy the smoke-free fire of natural or propane gas?

Do you have the ability to collect wood, start and maintain a warm fire, and clean the ashes from a wood burning fire, or are you drawn to brighter, more sterile gas flames that can be started in seconds?

Also, consider how much heat you want to feel coming from the fire. Although all fires will put out heat, woodburning fires are typically warmer than their gas counterparts.

Do you like the idea of the heat being directed at one intimate area, or would you rather the heat projected throughout the space?

Understanding where you stand on factors like these should help you realize the fire feature that's just right for your home

Time to Get Organized

We all have "stuff" and struggle with not knowing exactly where to put it or simply having too much of it. Possessions scattered about instead of putting away in proper places create clutter The longer we delay decisions about what should go where and follow through with putting those items into their designated places, the more chaos ensues within us, ultimately taking a toll on our mental health

However, a new year brings a fresh opportunity to reduce the clutter within our homes and minds and enjoy the inner-peace that accompanies a more organized lifestyle Below are some tips that will help you overcome clutter, get organized, and feel more peaceful in the new year

Start in One Space and Remove Everything

Once you ' ve narrowed down the particular area you'd like to organize, perhaps it's the one giving you the biggest headache Take everything out of it This may be a drawer, a closet, a pantry, or even an entire room This will allow you to review each item and determine if you need it or if it's part of the clutter weighing you down Purging is key here to avoid just organizing clutter Starting from empty, your space will be much easier to reorganize

Ask Yourself the Tough Questions

Some of the most well-known professional organizers (i e , Marie Kondo, Emily Ley, and William Morris) have narrowed down several key questions to ask yourself while looking through what you'd like to declutter These questions will help you decide what items to keep and what you can let go of, such as, "Is this the best, my favorite, or necessary? Is it useful or beautiful? Does it spark joy? Would I try to get this back from my ex after a bad breakup?"

Finding answers to these questions can be challenging, especially when emotions are involved, but being honest with yourself will allow the best results. Give yourself permission to donate, sell, give, trash or recycle the items cluttering your life

10

Remember your garage when organizing

Your garage space often becomes a landing place for other household items that don't have a designated home Since this is typically a larger space, the clutter in the garage can feel overwhelming It's best to pare down and downsize your belongings before investing in any storage solutions you may want to purchase later Take old paint, motor oil, and other toxic substances to your local hazardous waste drop-off location Donate used sports equipment, old furniture, and unnecessary household items you no longer need Once you ' ve decluttered, you ' re better able to determine if an additional storage system (shelves, hooks, workbenches, rails, cabinetry, etc ) is necessary to keep you organized moving forward

Stick to a Simple Daily Routine

Repetitive actions each day will help create habits to keep you organized. So, practicing actions like making your bed every morning and placing your keys and wallet in the same place every afternoon will help you stay organized and significantly improve your quality of life

Give Everything a Home

Even if you ' re unsure where something should go, realize all your belongings need a place to reside A good rule of thumb is to store items in the space where you use them Putting something away is much easier if you put it where it belonged when you used it Once all your items have their proper homes identified, please put all your belongings away daily to make sure your organization goes ahead

Group Like Items Together

Keeping things together will reduce the chaos of having too many things This allows you to visibly see what all you have If you own something extra, it'll be easier to let go of it, leading to less clutter Once you have your items sorted into groups, you can separate them into categories, then, even further, into colors within those categories For example, in your closet, group all your dresses together, then arrange them in color order

Realize it's Okay to Part with a Gift

Although receiving a gift from someone is meaningful, the gesture doesn't necessarily mean the object you were given is an item you like or find helpful If not, it's okay to get rid of the gift However difficult that may be, doing so does not disrespect the gift-giver or the intent behind the act. Remember, it's the thought that counts!

Practice the "One In, One Out" Rule

This is exactly what it sounds like: when you bring something new into your home, it's time to let something else go Keeping a "Donate" bin or basket handy is suitable for housing these items temporarily This strategy helps slow clutter accumulation.

How an Agent Helps Sell your House

Today’s market is at a turning point, making it more essential than ever to work with a real estate professional so you can stay up to date and make the best decisions possible. Here are five key reasons why working with a real estate professional makes sense right now:

1. We Follow the Latest Market Trends

With higher mortgage rates and moderating buyer demand, conditions change, and staying on top of the latest market information is crucial when you sell. Working with an expert real estate advisor helps ensure you can stay updated on what’s happening both locally and nationally. More importantly, we'll know what this data means for you, and we'll be able to help you make your best decision based on the facts.

2. We Help Maximize Your Pool of Buyers

Your agent’s role in bringing in buyers is essential. We have a large variety of tools at our disposal, such as social media followers, agency resources, and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to ensure that the most buyers view your house. Investopedia explains why it’s risky tosellonyourownwithoutthenetworkanagentprovides:

“Youdon’thaverelationshipswithclients,otheragents,orarealestateagencytobring thelargestpoolofpotentialbuyerstoyourhome.Asmallerpoolofpotentialbuyers meanslessdemandforyourproperty,whichcantranslateintowaitinglongertosell yourhomeandpossiblynotgettingasmuchmoneyasyourhouseisworth.”

38

3. We Understand the Fine Print

Today, more disclosures and regulations are mandatory when selling a house. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) explains it best, saying:

“Selling a home typically requires a variety of forms, reports, disclosures, and other legal and financial documents. . . . there’s a lot of jargon involved in a real estate transaction; you want to work with a professional who can speak the language.”

A real estate professional knows exactly what needs to happen, what all the paperwork means, and how to work through it efficiently. We'll help you review the documents and avoid any costly missteps that could occur if you try to handle them on your own.

4. We're Trained Negotiators

If you sell without a professional, you’ll also be solely responsible for the negotiations. That means you’ll have to coordinate with:

The buyer, who wants the best deal possible

The buyer’s agent, who will use their expertise to advocate

for the buyer

The inspection company, which works for the buyer and will almost always find concerns with the house

The appraiser, who assesses the property’s value to protect he lender

In today’s changing market, buyers are regaining some negotiation power as bidding wars ease. Instead of going toe-to-toe with all the above parties alone, lean on an expert who knows what levers to pull, how to address everyone’s concerns, and when to get a second opinion.

5.We Know How To Set the Right Price for Your House

Real estate professionals also know how to price your house accurately and competitively, so you don’t overprice or underprice your home for today's market. NAR explains it like this:

“A great real estate agent will look at your home with an unbiased eye, providing you with the information you need to enhance marketability and maximize price.”

Bottom Line
