As we start a new year, the real estate market is once again shifting. After a historic run, with home sales and prices reaching record highs, they are leveling. Mortgage interest rates continue to be affected by Federal Reserve decisions to address inflation.
This month we are sharing with you some well-researched statistics on how the real estate market reacted in the last half of 2022 as well as projections for 2023.
