A look into the 2023 of real estate

Trends towards remote work and eco-friendly homes, as well as technological innovations, are expected to shape the real estate market

In April 2023, the US housing market experts remain cautious about the housing market’s recovery. While Forbes reported that home prices fell for the first time in 11 years, prices still remain high, housing inventory continues to be a significant challenge due to tight inventory issues and low construction levels since the 2008 housing crash. Consequently, low inventory has kept demand high and propped up home prices, and experts predict that low inventory will continue to affect the housing market in 2023. 

Despite rising home sales and increased construction, experts remain cautious due to other economic factors such as high inflation, steep interest rates, geopolitical uncertainties, and recession fears. While there are positive signals, such as increased construction and builder sentiment, inventory issues are likely to continue to strain the housing market throughout the year.
