A Window of Opportunity for Homebuyers

- The 2017 through early 2020 numbers (shown in gray) give a good baseline of pre-pandemic demand. The steady up and down trends seen in each of these years show typical seasonality in the market.
- The blue on the graph represents the pandemic years. The height of those blue bars indicates home showings skyrocketed during the pandemic.
- The most recent data (shown in green), indicates buyer demand is moderating back toward more pre-pandemic levels.
- The pre-pandemic years (shown in gray) establish a baseline of the number of existing home sales in more typical years.
- The pandemic years (shown in blue) exceeded the level of sales seen in previous years. That’s largely because low mortgage rates during that time spurred buyer demand and home sales to new heights.
- This year (shown in green), the market is feeling the impact of higher mortgage rates and that’s moderating buyer demand (and by extension home sales). That’s why the expectation for home sales this year is closer to what the market saw in 2018-2019.
