\"What<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking of buying a home in today\u2019s housing market, you may be wondering how strong your investment will be. You might be asking yourself: if I buy a home now, will it lose value? Or will it continue to appreciate going forward? The good news is, according to the experts, home prices are not projected to decline. Here\u2019s why.<\/span><\/p>\n

With buyers still outweighing sellers, home prices are forecast to continue climbing in 2022, just at a slower or more moderate pace<\/a>. Why the continued increase? It\u2019s the simple law of supply and demand. When there are fewer items on the market than there are buyers, the competition for that item makes prices naturally rise.<\/p>\n

And while the number of homes for sale today is expected to improve with more sellers getting ready to list their houses<\/a> this winter, we\u2019re certainly not out of the inventory woods yet. Thus, the projections show continued appreciation, but at a more moderate rate than what we\u2019ve seen over the past year.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the latest 2022 expert forecasts on home price appreciation:\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the biggest takeaway from this graph? None of the major experts are projecting depreciation in 2022.<\/strong> They\u2019re all showing an increase in home prices next year.<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s what some of the industry\u2019s experts say about how that will play out in the housing market next year:<\/p>\n

Brad Hunter of Hunter Housing Economics<\/em><\/a> explains:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c. . . the recent unsustainable rate of home price appreciation will slow sharply. . . . home prices will not decline. . . <\/strong>but they will simply rise at a more sustainable pace.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Danielle Hale from realtor.com<\/em> agrees<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cPrice growth is expected to move back toward a normal range, but this is on top of recent high prices<\/strong>, . . . So prices will [still] hit new highs. . . . The pace of price growth is going to slow notably . . . \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What Does This Mean for the Housing Market?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

While home price appreciation is expected to continue, it isn\u2019t projected to be the record-breaking<\/a> 18 to almost 20% increase the market saw over the past 12 months. Overall, it\u2019s important to note that price increases won\u2019t be as monumental as they were in 2021 \u2013 but they certainly won\u2019t decline anytime soon.<\/p>\n

What Does That Mean for You?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With motivated buyers in the market and so few homes available to purchase, the imbalance of supply and demand will continue to put upward pressure on home prices<\/a> in 2022. And when home price appreciation is in the forecast, that\u2019s a clear indication your investment in homeownership is a sound one.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s important to know that home prices are not projected to decline in the new year. Instead, they\u2019re forecast to rise, just at more moderate pace. Let\u2019s connect to make sure you\u2019re up to date on what\u2019s happening with home price appreciation in our market, so you can make an informed decision about your next move.<\/p>\n
