The year 2023 began with a positive trend in the real estate market as inflation dropped as expected in December. Since October, rates have dropped over 1%, resulting in a decrease of over $300 per month on a $500,000 loan for mortgage payments.

Additionally, the slowing of the real estate market has led to more willing sellers, providing buyers with more choices and leverage during negotiations.

Despite some economic uncertainty, real estate remains a solid investment and the modest price drop in some markets may even be reversed due to lower rates and inventory shortages.
