MARKET UPDATE YEAR-END 2022 | SW WAKE COUNTY

Happy New Year!
 
Just when we thought real estate in the Triangle could not surprise us anymore! 2023 brings us a much slower-paced market with months of inventory just beginning to look slightly balanced. Our buyers slowed way down; I believe partly because they were priced right out of the market with the rising interest rates as well as out of an abundance of caution.  Rents are high, but house payments are even higher.  I believe buyers at every life stage took a step back and are cautiously analyzing what is important to them in their household. Despite that, the Triangle is continuing to experience record growth which will continue to bring the buyers to our area. We will continue to see a shortage of re-sale homes as those re-sale owners that have refinanced are choosing not to go anywhere.
