While elevated rates, sluggish sales, and high inflation have taken a toll, it’s unlikely home prices will drop next year. In fact, we may see a further uptick; home prices are holding steady for most parts of the country since inventory is extremely low.

Housing inventory is about a quarter of what it was in 2008, with distressed property sales at just 2% and nowhere near the 30% mark seen during the crash. There are signs that mortgage rates have topped out at 7%. One example is the October consumer price index, which shows inflation is rising less than expected.

Predictions

Home sales are expected to decline by 7% in 2023. However, 2024 is expected to result in a strong rebound, with a projected increase of 10% in home sales and a 5% increase in the national median home price. Prices should hold firm or marginally grow.

Plenty of potential buyers are still patiently waiting to enter the market. Talking with your neighborhood expert to develop a plan to stay ahead of the curve will result in the best sale possible. Call me today at 847.977.7024 to get the conversation started.
