Current State of the Housing Market: A Balanced Perspective

Current State of the Housing Market: A Balanced Perspective

Mortgage rates have seen a notable increase, climbing to 6.72% this week, as reported by recent data. Real estate expert Sam DeBianchi Laviola has shared insights on the implications of these changes for the housing market. According to Laviola, studies indicate that mortgage rates may fluctuate between 6% and 7%, largely influenced by the Federal Reserve's cautious approach to interest rates. Despite the current rise, she predicts that rates could potentially drop to the 5-6% range within the next year.

Laviola emphasizes that the market is currently balanced and healthy, although many homebuyers and sellers may not perceive it that way due to limited inventory. She suggests that now is an opportune time for potential buyers to enter the market, as sellers are generally more willing to negotiate.

For those contemplating a home purchase, Laviola advises securing mortgage pre-approval, being ready to negotiate with sellers, and exploring various lending options beyond the traditional 30-year fixed mortgage to find the best fit for their financial situation.
