August 2022 Real Estate Market Report

-

August brings us to the end of summer. The real estate market has held steady this summer. Not much of a decline - no crazy price increases.  It seems we have a stable market. 

Interest rates have gone down a bit in an effort to curb extreme drops in the economy. The efforts to control inflation seem to be having an effect on the real estate market, at least for now.  

Remember, we are still in one of the best real estate markets of our lifetime - especially, if you're a seller. This is still a competitive market, but if you're looking to buy you can expect to breathe enough to know that prices aren't spiraling too high right now.

When the pandemic hit, the meaning of home changed. People needed the space their home provided not only as a place to live, but as a place to work, go to school, exercise, and more. Those who had that space were more likely to keep it. And those that didn’t were in a position where they were trying to sell their smaller house to move up to a larger one. That meant the homes coming to the market during the pandemic were smaller than those on the market before the pandemic – and that trend continues today ( see graph below ): This graph also  s
