August 2022

The real estate market reinvents itself every day. It’s constantly changing. The housing market had been booming with properties valued at an all-time peak. Homes were in high demand partially due to historically low-interest rates and low inventory. But now that rates have risen the market has slowed.

We find ourselves in a price-sensitive market. The market appears to be normalizing as rates stabilize. It’s critical to price your home correctly for the best results. It’s still a good time to buy or sell real estate depending on your goals.
