Hello 2024!

HELLO 2024!
 
I could not be more excited to start this New Year and new beginnings for my buyers and sellers!
 
One week into 2024 and we have solid indicators for a stronger 2024! 
 
Here are some optimistic data points from our morning Compass Monthly National Update Summary and my own predictions:
 
·      Sales are expected to rise 18% to 4.6M homes vs. the 3.9M that were sold last year (NAR)
 
·      Interest rates are expected to drop to 5.75% (Freddie Mac)
 
·      Inflation is expected to recede to 4.9% - down from 7.7% (Statista)
 
·      First time homebuyers will make up roughly 30% of home sales
 
·      Self-financing for purchases (from family and personal funds) continue to increase as finance options for buyers
 
·      Purchasing a second home or investment property will be a common objective among my clients
 
·      Motivated Buyers will secure stellar rates with incentives, buydowns and relationship discounts from lenders
 
·      Motivated Sellers will not sit on the market and be anxious to price their homes competitively to get to their next home.
