Where the Housing Market Is Going in 2022

As Told by 7 Leading Forecast Models


A perfect storm. That's the best way to describe the red-hot housing market we've seen from coast-to-coast during the pandemic.

Though the market appears to be normalizing somewhat as more listings become available, 2022 is poised to have some unique issues and challenges of its own when it comes to real estate sales. Two factors in particular are likely to impact the market in the year ahead.


 

Home Appraisals: What You Need to Know


A home appraisal may not be top of mind when you're looking to buy, sell or refinance a home. But maybe it should be.
