Chief Economist for NAR (National Association of Realtors®) just gave a one-on-one interview with Chris Raveis for all William Raveis agents (early April 2023) , and he had some key takeaways.
💡The rates of sales should pick up as the year goes on.
💡New construction starts have risen for three consecutive months on a nationwide scale.
💡Mortgage rates have improved since last month.
💡The gap between the current rates and what many homeowners have now is narrowing.
💡His advice?
🏠Sellers: It doesn’t matter when you sell- if you sell high, you will buy high, and vice versa. So you should act based on your lifestyle needs.
🏡Buyers: The key is to get into the ownership ladder if you’re not already. You should also act based on your lifestyle needs, and if rates improve, refinance later.
