If you're thinking about buying or selling real estate in 2023 check out the article below. All signs are positive for the upcoming year.

Key points: Home prices have stabilized after large gains in 2022. Interest rates have declined slightly since recently peaking.

Take aways: The market will see increased activity over 2022 as interest rates stabilize at more normal levels since the federal government's artificially inspired lows during the early stages of the pandemic have ended.

Please don't hesitate to check in with me if you have any questions about buying or selling this year!

According to the National Association of Realtors, home prices continue to stay high though the average 30 year fixed mortgage rate is now around 5.7%.

In our area, low inventory will keep sales moving along, though it will be more expensive for first time home buyers. Those looking to refinance are now stuck if you bought your home in the last 7-8 years and locked in rates lower than the current rates. Options are limited.

The poor lending practices which led to the 2009 housing crash are not present anymore, and coupled with our low inventory, we not heading towards any type of bubble bursting or a flurry foreclosures, which would dump low price inventory back into the market.

Real Estate continues to be a great investment. Will it cost you more in this market? Yes. But will it continue to provide a return on your investment? Absolutely!!
