Here’s a Quick recap

I’m not focusing any numbers or stats in this podcast you hear enough of them from a variety of news and social sources.

Let’s understand that a supply driven market, with adverse reactions from inflation estimates and interest concerns may fixate you on the exact timing of your move. Why not get out of the gate early and approach positive matters with a focus on attaining the highest and best price by preparing for change in THIS year’s housing market. YOUR RIGHT TIME WILL COME. If you dwell on absolute highs and lows you’ll miss opportunities.

Sales prices are projected to fall further in response to economic conditions BUT if you look at what price you acquired your home-You’re STILL GOING TO HAVE A SUPERB RETURN! Some of you will net greater than 50%… 40, 30. How much did you win on the last dealer dealt hand. I am going to tell you interest rates will head back down in 2023 IN RESPONSE TO BETTER INFLATION REPORTS. UNTIL THEN Analysts speculate but they will never be able to pin it down Exactly. My good friend and mentor Gino Blefari, head of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices reminded us this month that when inflation numbers decline rates will decline. Further, if you don’t have a specific deadline to move what’s another few months in the grand scheme of things?

LETS FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE
