National Real Estate Market Update for 2023

June 14, 2023 By Libby Guthrie Leave a Comment

National Real Estate Market Update for 2023

There’s an old adage in real estate: location, location, location. But ever since the Federal Reserve began its series of inflation-fighting interest rate hikes last year, a new mantra has emerged: mortgage rates, mortgage rates, mortgage rates. Higher rates had the immediate impact of dampening homebuyer affordability and demand. But this year, we’re seeing further […]

𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 ⁣ ⁣ Mid-year rate upd 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 ⁣
⁣
Mid-year rate update: the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is 6.55% this week. That's up slightly from 6.49% last week, but down from 6.75% a year ago.⁣
⁣
This isn't a dramatic drop -  and it doesn't need to be one to matter. A steadier rate environment makes it easier to plan around the payment, compare homes thoughtfully, and make a decision based on your real timeline instead of a guess about next week's headlines.⁣
⁣
The useful question isn't whether rates are perfect. It's whether today's numbers make sense for your budget, your move, and the home you want.⁣

⁣
Here's a shift worth noticing if you're buying: negotiation is a normal part of the process again.⁣
⁣
Nearly half of sellers -  46% in May -  gave buyers some form of concession, a record for that month. Price reductions are far more common than they were during the frenzy.⁣
⁣
For buyers, that's not a warning sign. A reduced price is often an invitation to look closer, not a reason to stay away. Inspections, repairs, closing costs, timing -  these are conversations again, not sacrifices you make to win a bidding war.⁣
⁣
One honest caveat: more negotiation doesn't mean buyers control every market. A well-priced home in a tight area can still move fast. But the list price is no longer the whole conversation.⁣
