This is a question that seems to be on everyone’s mind, especially after a year which has seen double digit appreciation in home prices.
Finally, I found a focused discussion on this topic by highly knowledgeable persons that I can recommend. Here’s a YouTube link for that discussion. The panelists are Nick Bailey, president of Re/Max, LLC, Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, and Ward Morrison, president of a mortgage franchising frim. The consensus of these experts is that 2022 will see most appreciation (3 to 5%, says Yun) but no crash. The main reason is the imbalance of supply and demand and mortgage rates projected to be no higher than 4%, which is still quite low.
The record job growth is also a critical factor. Foreclosures will remain low because only 2% of homeowners have negative equity. Watch the 28-minute video on our blog. You’ll learn a lot, as I did.
