Here is this week's Northeast Wisconsin Housing Market Update (January 31 - February 6, 2022). Buyers and Sellers need to be aware that the 2022 Housing Market remains strong and active. We did see an increase in homes that entered the market in the week of Jan 31 and the 30 yr fixed rate remained stable after a crazy January. Potential buyers especially need to be aware right now that they should be doing all of the necessary things to prepare for buying vs waiting to start a search and then prepare. We often hear that buyers have concerns about credit or down payments. We have resources to assist with working through that, but waiting to act will hurt buyers in the long run.

For those of us in the Oshkosh, Appleton and Fond du Lac area, here is a quick snapshot of some of the Wisconsin housing market activity for the last two weeks of 2021.  As you can see 1/3 of the homes that went on the market between December 20 and December 31, 2021 went under contract in that same two week period. This continues to indicate that we are in a strong seller's market and buyer demand is high and ACTIVE. Over the last few weeks we've been sharing some short form videos about what is being predicted for 2022 in the housing market. The links to those videos are below. We've also touched on inflation and the impact to renters.  The graphic below shows the predictions for the 2022 US Housing Market.   Will the housing market crash?  Not likely! None of us has a crystal ball, but the housing market is typically very resilient to changes in the economy. Will home prices drop in 2022?  Also not likely.  Homes rarely depreciate.  The rate of appreciation due to the low inventory (driving up demand) will likely slow down in 2022, but home will not go down in value.   Market projections are never 100 percent accurate, but the experts in real estate studying this information have mostly agreed on what to expect.  Northeast Wisconsin is much more conservative than many other parts of the country, but we do typically follow the same trends. Let us know how our team can help you make sense of the predictions for your personal situation in 2022!
