What is happening with homebuilders and the new home sales sector as we head into the spring housing market ? We have had some conflicting data points recently. On the one hand, cancelation rates have been rising. On the other hand, mortgage rates have gone down more than 1% since Oct. 20, 2022. The builders’ stock prices have done well as mortgage rates have fallen , and this illustrates the simplicity of the homebuilders’ position: their story is really about mortgage rates and moving pr

Your home is typically the most significant investment you'll ever make, so when it’s time to sell, you want to ensure you get as much as possible. But how do you choose the best price to list the home? Accurate house pricing is essential for success. If you set the price too high, it will be on the market for a longer time. If the price is lower than it should be, you’ll receive offers below what you need to help purchase your next home.

The available inventory of homes for sale continues to fall at the end of January. This data is created by a combination of a lack of new listings and an increase in buyer demand. The low level of supply is helping to stabilize prices which were falling in the 4th quarter. So the question is: have we already seen the bottom for the housing market? Or, is this a temporary blip, a red herring, before an inevitable recession hits or interest rates climb again?
