The real estate market has seen a shift in the past couple of weeks.  As interest rates continue to climb, we see buyers completely priced out of the market.  Home prices continue to go up at a slower pace but interest rates are increasing at a much faster rate.  As buyer’s purchasing power has decreased, the pool of available buyers at certain price points has decreased as well.  Less offers, less over asking and more buyers failing to perform on their offer as their loan isn’t approved.  Be sure you hire an agent that is aware of these slight changes in the market. It is vital that your agent is keeping tabs on the market so you don’t overpay as a buyer or have unrealistic expectations as a seller.  As always, I am available to meet for a consultation regarding your real estate needs or give you a free market analysis of your home.  Give me a call!
