What Experts Are Saying About the Spring Housing Market

March 21, 2024 by Angela Black

If you’re gearing up to enter the housing market this spring, you’re likely curious about the trends and dynamics that will shape your buying or selling experience. Here’s a roundup of insights from industry experts:

What Experts Are Saying About the Spring Housing Market

Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist, First American: Expect a pickup in inventory this spring, but it may not fully meet demand.

Lisa Sturtevant, Chief Economist, Bright MLS: Strong demand persists, especially among millennials entering the first-time homebuyer phase.

Danielle Hale, Chief Economist, Realtor.com: The current market offers a balance: Price increases are slowing, benefiting buyers, while prices remain high, advantageous for sellers.

Skylar Olsen, Chief Economist, Zillow: Although there are slightly more homes for sale compared to last year, competition remains fierce for well-priced properties. Buyers and sellers should prepare accordingly.

Jiayi Xu, Economist, Realtor.com: While mortgage rates are up, buyers may find more affordable homes in the mid-price range this spring, with a notable increase in listings compared to last year.

For Sellers: This spring presents an opportune time to sell due to limited inventory and high demand. Homes are selling quickly, making it a favorable market for sellers.

For Buyers: Increased inventory means more choices, but competition remains stiff. Be prepared to act swiftly when you find the right property.

Bottom Line: Regardless of your plans, partnering with a local real estate agent can provide invaluable guidance and support in navigating the dynamic spring housing market. Whether you’re buying or selling, having a knowledgeable professional by your side can help you make informed decisions and achieve your goals effectively.
