New listings hit a four-year high
We’re seeing the US housing market heat up, with new listings rising by 8%—the highest jump since August 2022. Active listings are finally edging toward a balanced market, though it’s important to note that pending sales have dipped to a low point. Mortgage rates are sitting at 6.66%, which continues to challenge affordability even as median prices climb another 2.2%. As someone who guides buyers and sellers through every twist and turn in Joliet and the surrounding areas, I keep a close eye on these shifts. Whether you’re thinking of making a move or just want to understand how this climate could affect your plans, I’m always here to help you navigate with confidence.
