Click above to read an article from realtor.com on their 2022 outlook. Spoiler alert... Their predictions aren't that bold... I tricked you! Basically home price growth will continue to slow but will still grow overall mainly due to homebuilders dealing with supply chain issues resulting in still low inventory levels. Mortgage rates will tick up which is absolutely inevitable as we've been on a magic carpet ride with mortgage rates so low for so long. Buyers will find an easier market but it still won't be a buyer's market. I tend to be more pessimistic than this article (and keep in mind it's realtor.com so they have an interest in keeping up the happy talk as much as they can) but it's an interesting read.
