This is the question on everyone's mind. Whether you are a buyer, a seller, or both - the answer to this question is important to you. Here's what the experts say and what this means for you: According to CoreLogic, Price appreciation averaged 15% for the full year of 2021, up from the 2020 full year average of 6%. Despite an uptick in mortgage rates, there are still more buyers than homes for sale. The experts agree that the housing market is not set up for a price decline due to the continuing imbalance of supply and demand. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, NAR, and CoreLogic all forecast continued appreciation - averaging 9.8% for 2022. According to Freddie Mac: "If you're thinking about waiting until next year and that maybe rates are higher, but you'll get a deal on prices - well that's risky. It may be more advantageous to purchase this year relative to waiting until 2023 at this time" Reach out us today to learn more about rising interest rates, home appreciation. and what makes sense for you as a potential buyer or seller. #LAKEgroup #compasschicago #homeappreciation #supplyanddemand
