Summary 

We have been feeling the 'shift' in the market for a little while now as the affordability index tells us that the average family can no longer afford the median home values that are available in the market.  Add on higher mortgage rates and record high inflation and things have to slow down.  New listings are starting to outpace sales by more and more each week and expired listings are growing as well.  Global concerns seem to have taken a back seat to inflation but the war in Ukraine and the ever looming Covid - 19 outbreaks are still out there. 

All that being said it it still a great time to sell your home as homes still commonly sell the first weekend on the market and in multiple offers.   So, if a move is in your future please contact me to find out if now is a good time for you!
