There is still a lot of uncertainty on where our real estate market will land. We like to call this period of time “a return to normal”. What happened over the past two years was “abnormal”, though “crazy” might be a better descriptor. Regardless, the softening market is good for the overall health of our industry and the sanity of both buyers and sellers.
Free Advice: No one can predict the exact bottom, so don’t try. When you’re ready to start the search, start the search. When you find a home you love, buy it. If you need to move, move. Time is a far more valuable resource than a few bucks one way or the other.
Reach out to us if you have questions about the market, especially if you’re considering a change to your real estate holdings.
