Mortgage Rates

Mortgage rates hit record lows at the beginning of the pandemic, motivating buyers to secure homes. However, experts predict that rates will soon rise again, and the Federal Reserve is expecting perform a series of rate hike throughout the year. Just a few slight increases to mortgate rates can have dramatic impacts on buyers and their mortgage approval levels. Buyers are aware of this speculation which means they are putting in offers now while they have the highest levels of approvals!

Low Inventory

It’s no surprise that inventory has been lacking in the housing market, and this is expected to linger well into the spring season.
