Monthly Market Update
January 2023
My 10 Predictions for 2023
1. There is No Housing Bubble - No, we are not headed for a crash.
2. Inflation has seen its Peak - Thank Goodness!
3. The 2023 Market will be very similar to 2022- Historically our inventory will be low.
4. Mortgage Rates Will Drop- Don’t be surprised if we see interest rates coming into the 5s by summer.
5. Inventory Will Not Grow Significantly- it’s still well below average and below demand
6. There will be No Buyer’s Market, But a More Balanced Market- Sorry buyers, there will be no panic selling.
7. Sellers must become more Realistic- The days of selling a home before the sign is in the yard are behind us.
8. New Construction Activity Will Not Increase - I can go on for hours about this one, call me if you want to talk about it.
9. Employment and The Labor Markets Can Change Everything - Right now unemployment is low, keep an eye on these numbers.
10. Affordability will continue to be The Biggest Issue- Denver homes’ value increased well and above wages, and the higher interest rates on lending don’t help.
