2022 Year in Review
Market Watch While our housing markets have consistently demonstrated declines in 2022 on a quarterly basis compared to 2021, the final quarter of the year experienced a steeper drop-off, driven by a confluence of factors. These ranged from low inventory to inflation, higher mortgage rates and other economic concerns. Yet even in the face of…
Q3 Market Watch
Third Quarter 2022 Market Watch Year to date, each of our markets has experienced lower single family housing units and dollar volume closed than the first nine months of last year.
