What we are seeing in Real Estate in January 2024:
Mortgage interest rates have slightly declined from 2023 and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held rates steady at their January meeting. Federal Reserve chair, Jerome H. Powell said that the central bank is looking to make interests cuts in 2024 but has not yet defined a clear timeline on when that may occur. (Fed Chair Powell Says Officials Need More ‘Good’ Data Before Cutting Rates, New York Times).
The softening of rates will help buyers get back into the market, however persistent low inventory paired with the high demand for housing will continue to drive home affordability challenges. Freddie Mac's January 2024 Outlook Report forecasts that home prices will increase 2.8% in 2024 and 2.0% in 2025 nationally.
