MORTGAGE RATES & HOME PRICES?
NOW THAT THE END OF 2022 IS WITHIN SIGHT, YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHERE THE HOUSING MARKET IS HEADED IN 2023.
The Current Market
While elevated rates, sluggish sales activity, 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.
Mortgage Rates Will Continue to Respond to Inflation
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. The October consumer price index showed inflation rising less than expected, which may be a sign of rates topping out at 7%.
Predictions for 2023 and Beyond
Home sales are expected to decline by 7% in 2023, while the national median home price will increase by 1%. 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.

WHAT YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE SAYING ABOUT LANDIN SMITH
Landin has been our go-to real estate agent for almost ten years over the purchase and sale of two houses. He knows the market well, is super friendly, and is great at walking you through the buying and selling process. He’s good at what he does, but he also goes past just buying and selling your house; he keeps in touch (great activities!) and knows contractors for just about everything. When we moved out of state, he even helped us find a new agent where we were moving, vetting candidates to find someone up to his high standards to help us with our next purchase."
