Monthly Spotlight - January 2023
Happy New Year and I hope 2023 is off to a good start for you! A review of 2022 shows a tale of two markets, as talks of rising interest rates and inflation stole the headlines for much of the year. We began 2022 with 30-year mortgage rates just above 3%. Rates peaked around 7% in early November and ended the year at 6.5%. There's optimism that rates will return to the mid-5%'s later this year. Markets go up, and markets make adjustments. But in the midst of an ever-changing real estate landscape, this quote from Ray Brown often holds true: "The best time to buy a house is five years ago!" There are opportunities to look forward to in 2023, and I'm here as a resource to help guide you or someone you know. Take a look at our year-end local market summaries his month, as well as this month's articles about goal setting, packing fragile dishes for a move, and maintaining your home's value.
