Here are the biggest constraints on our real estate market these days.
What’s the biggest constraint in our current real estate market? Calculated Risk founder Bill McBride recently said, “It is possible that the rising mortgage rates will slow the housing market, … or the Fed might raise rates sooner than expected due to the recent pickup in inflation, … but I believe one thing is certain: Inventory will tell the tale!” There’s quite a bit of speculation in the market right now. So today I’m discussing the constraints and numbers that tell us what’s going on in our market.
