Are these numbers cause for panic? It shouldn’t. We have gotten used to the massive gains & accelerated growth within the bubble induced by the pandemic & its aftermath. For most of the past 2 years, housing was in short supply while demand raged. Supply is now slowly increasing while demand is dropping, which is likely to continue with further rate hikes in the horizon.
Some would-be buyers are forced out of the market. Upscale neighbourhoods are seemingly immune to policy changes. The frenzy is over but we just might be going back to normal in more ways than one.
There are so many uncertainties in a shifting market. Buyer and seller alike may benefit from professional help. If you have questions or need assistance, send us a message. We are always happy to discuss. 📩
