The first is the reality of the shift in today’s housing market. And the second is what experts are saying about home prices in the coming year.\r\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>The Reality of the Shift in Today’s Housing Market\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\r\nThe reality is we’re seeing an inflection point in housing supply and demand. According to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fnews.move.com\u002F2022-09-01-Realtor-com-R-August-Housing-Report-Days-on-Market-Grows-for-the-First-Time-in-Over-Two-Years\">\u003Cem>realtor.com\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fa>, active listings have increased more than 26% over last year, while showings from the latest \u003Cem>ShowingTime\u003C\u002Fem> \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.showingtime.com\u002Fblog\u002Fjuly-2022-showing-index-results\u002F\">\u003Cem>Showing Index\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fa> have decreased almost 17% from last year (\u003Cem>see graph below\u003C\u002Fem>). This is an inflection point for housing because, over the past two years, we’ve seen a massive amount of demand (showings) and not enough homes available for sale for the number of people that wanted to buy. That caused the market frenzy.\r\n\r\nToday, supply and demand look very different, and the market is slowing down from the pace we’ve seen. This offers proof of the sudden slowdown so many people are feeling.\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ffiles.simplifyingthemarket.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2022\u002F09\u002F13113904\u002F20220914-MEM-Eng-1-.png\">\u003Cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47155\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Ffiles.simplifyingthemarket.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2022\u002F09\u002F13113904\u002F20220914-MEM-Eng-1-.png\" alt=\"Is the Real Estate Market Slowing Down, or Is This a Housing Bubble? | Simplifying The Market\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fa>\r\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>What Experts Are Saying About Home Prices in the Coming Year\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\r\nRight now, most experts are forecasting home price appreciation in 2023, but at a much slower pace than the last two years. The average of the six forecasters below is for national \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.simplifyingthemarket.com\u002F2022\u002F08\u002F30\u002Fwhats-actually-happening-with-home-prices-today\u002F\">home prices\u003C\u002Fa> to appreciate by 2.5% in the coming year.
