The 2022 housing market has had two key things: inflation and rapidly rising mortgage rates. And in many ways, it’s put the market into a reset position.
As the federal reserve (the fed) made moves this year to try to lower inflation, mortgage rates more than doubled – something that’s never happened before in a calendar year. This increase in mortgage rates impacts buyer activity, the balance between supply and demand, and home prices. And as all those things changed, some buyers and sellers put their plans on hold and decided to wait until the market felt more predictable.
But what does that mean for next year? What everyone wants is more stability in the market in 2023. For that to happen, we’ll need to see the fed bring inflation down

Mortgage rates have been a hot topic in the housing market over the past 12 months. Compared to the beginning of 2022, rates have risen dramatically. Now they’re dropping, and that has to do with everything happening in the economy.

What’s happening with home prices?
You may have seen news stories mentioning a drop in home values or home price depreciation, but it’s important to remember these headlines are clickbait. But what headlines aren’t always great at is painting the complete picture.
While home prices are down slightly month-over-month in some markets, it’s also true that home values are up nationally on a year-over-year basis. The graph below uses the latest data from S&P Case-Shiller to help tell the story of what’s happening in the

There’s no doubt buying a home today is different than it was over the past couple of years, and the shift in the market has led to advantages for buyers today.

Buying a home in any market is a personal decision, and the best way to make that decision is to educate yourself on the facts, not following sensationalized headlines in the news today.
