Real estate market recent observations

Thirty-year mortgage rates at the time of writing this report were up over seven percent compared to less than half that earlier in the year,  This has resulted in some potential home buyers being priced out of the housing market.  Those who can still make a purchase are doing so at a much higher cost.

More sellers are making reductions in their list price to get a  faster sale.

It is a better strategy to price a home a bit lower to attract more interest. Doing this could lead to more offers and a higher price. Pricing higher could make it necessary to reduce the price one or more times before getting an accepted offer.

Finding affordable housing or rental is still a challenge.
