Short-Term Forecast

Twin Cities real estate pro’s are anticipating a slow-down from this Spring’s torrid pace sometime later this Summer.

Why?

a. Rising interest rates;
b. Projected low levels of inventory;
c. Declining home affordability, especially in the market’s lower rungs most popular with first-time Buyers;
d. Cumulative agent exhaustion.

Correct answer:  all of the above.

Minus the part about fewer closings, most (very) active agents would welcome a bit slower pace right now . . .
