RESTLESS HOUSING MARKET

The current housing market since the pandemic has been restless and can be due to many factors such as economic conditions, interest rates, demographic trends and government policies. A shift can manifest as increased demand, rising prices or changes in buyer preferences. For instance in a booming economy, you might see a surge in home prices and a competitive bidding environment. Conversely, if interest rates rise significantly, it can dampen demand as borrowing costs increase, leading to a potential slowdown in price growth or even declines.

Additionally, changes in remote work trends have influenced housing preferences, with more people seeking homes in suburban or rural areas rather than urban centers.
