September 2022 Market Brief
Now that the holiday season is slowly approaching, sales are starting to slow down — but overall pricing has remained stable despite this. Since interest rates are on the rise, locals can expect to see limited inventory. If you were lucky enough to buy your home within the last two years, you’re probably seeing the benefits of low interest rates in your current home.
Market analysts are predicting that interest rates will hit as high as 8% over the next 12 months — until the housing market eventually settles by early 2024. This means we’ll probably keep seeing low inventory, more conservative pricing, and minimal activity in general until inflation becomes more manageable.
Understandably, because of this, some buyers have decided to stop searching for now until rates come back to a better level. That alone has created a strong rental market locally, with rentals seeing similar statistics to the sales market — which isn’t surprising for anyone who has tried to rent recently. Again, this trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future
