PRICE ADJUSTMENTS AND THE 2023 MARKET In March 2022, it was clear that the market was changing from a frenzied post-pandemic scene to one where it was assumed that rising mortgage rates would slow it down and help inventory finally rise back up.

As predicted , 2024 has started with low inventory, and mortgage rates have remained relatively stable in the high 6’s and low 7’s. Due to rising rates and home prices that have continued to influence consumer spending, 2023 saw the lowest inventory in recorded history, and in 2024, sellers are still hesitant to enter the market.

Inventory initially dropped in March 2020 as a result of sellers pausing on listing their homes and that number has stayed extremely low since. Now in 2022, it’s predicted that inventory will continue to stay low and competition will remain immensely high. Consider Waiving Inspection.

2022 started with low inventory and high competition as predicted , but by April rates began their ascent and the market began its shift. Since then, as rates and inflation have continued to influence consumer sentiment and spending, inventory has remained low as sellers hesitate to dive into the market.
