Buy or Sell Now – Before the Market Changes

The housing market took off in 2020 and 2021, with homes selling at record numbers, boasting a nearly 20% increase. Although it was definitely a seller’s market, there were benefits for buyers also, with mortgage rates near historic lows. Some homeowners took advantage of 30-year rates near 3% and some 15-year rates near 2%.

Those low rates, unfortunately, are predicted to rise. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) forecasts that the 30-year fixed mortgage rate will increase to 3.5% by the end of 2022 as the Fed raises interest rates to control inflation. Realtor.com anticipates the average mortgage rate of 3.3% throughout the year, hitting 3.6% by the end of the year. This will affect, for example, the 45 million Millennials who will be prime first-time home buyers. Realtor.com is also anticipating home sales to increase another 6.6% and home prices to rise another 2.9%.

With the upcoming changes to the housing market next year, it’s even more important to have a realtor on your side you can trust and who understands the LOCAL market.

    🏠 “Excellent realtor, very knowledgeable, easy to work with. Helped us get our house ready to sell, then worked hard on it until closing.” — Stacey S.

    🏠 “We had an excellent experience with Cove Realty. The entire Cove team was highly professional from beginning to end in the sale of our home. They were responsive to our needs and kept us well informed throughout the selling process. Every detail was thoroughly addressed from the time we listed through our closing.” — Ruthann Alfredson

    🏠 “Mike sold my house in less than 48 hours (we hadn’t even put up a sign yet!) at a great price. Very thorough in the explanation of the whole process. Had some challenges with the seller of my new home, but everyone at Cove went the extra mile to make sure it was taken care of, and I am very happy with my new place.” — Stacey Emanuel

    🏠 “Char had to show us over 20 houses and go through multiple offers and counters before we found our house. She was so awesome and accommodating. She was great with our little ones and our crazy schedules. I don’t know when we’ll be looking again, but Char will always be our realtor!” — Wayne and Shari Howe.
