Taking a look at the rest of the 2023 housing market - Spark Notes style!
Home Prices and Rent Growth🏡

✨Home price and rent growth will likely level off for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024.
✨Rent growth may overtake home price appreciation, with the rental market remaining strong and rental prices expected to increase.
✨The number of renters is also expected to rise as the cost of homeownership increases, particularly in urban areas.
Mortgage Rates and Inventory
✨Mortgage rates will remain high (above 6%), contributing to the overall high cost of home ownership.
✨Unwilling to give up their sub-4% rates, sellers will likely stay put, causing the housing inventory shortages to persist.
✨Joint real estate purchases will become more common as a way to afford larger properties and qualify for mortgages.

Buyer Trends
✨Following a recent decline, the percentage of first-time homebuyers entering the market may rise in early 2024.
✨Affordable markets in the Midwest, South, and Sunbelt will continue to attract younger buyers who are able to relocate due to remote work.
✨Further, many are moving to be closer to family and loved ones, with 17% of recent buyers citing this as their primary motivation.
I'd love for you to join the conversation — comment with your thoughts and questions about real estate in 2023!
