After a busy 2021 housing market, experts are revealing what we should expect to see in 2022. Following are a few predictions:
Increased mortgage rates – While mortgage rates have remained near historic lows for many months, National Association of Realtors economists expect the 30-year fixed mortgage rate to increase by the end of 2022 as the Federal Reserve increases interest rates to battle inflation.
Increased home prices – Home prices in 2021 increased by almost 20% from the year before. Experts predict that home prices will continue to rise in 2022, but only by abut 3-6%.
Limited inventory – Throughout 2021, inventory remained low and bidding wars were prevalent. During 2022, inventory is expected to increase slightly but will likely remain low enough to keep bidding wars in play.
