If you have sensed that change is in the air... your instincts are correct! In my world of real estate 2024 has been a year of change. We have had many changes in "real estate practice" and of course the market has changed too. Thirty five years in this business and the one thing that has always been consistent is that there is constant change. If you are not working with an experienced Realtor that stays abreast of the changes, ebbs and flows of the industry it could cost you money and valuable time.
2025 is projected to be a year of "settling" with interest rates. We have had months of ups and downs. While that may continue in the first months of 2025, it is projected that rates will land in the low 6%'s. As consumers begin to trust that the rates have stabilized we will see more buyers moving forward and more sellers willing to move up or scale down, depending on stages of life.
Another key factor that will be back and has already presented itself, is home inspections. We are already seeing buyers win offers even with home inspection contingencies. As your real estate professional, I am equipped to walk you through all that you need to know so that you can make wise decisions when buying or selling real estate.
