When you’re looking to buy or sell a home anywhere in the greater Apopka area, you need to find a Realtor with integrity, years of experience, a proven track record of success, and who continuously has their finger on the true pulse of the housing market.
“Rock Springs Realty is here to help homebuyers and those who wish to sell their homes. While housing market trends in the first quarter of 2022 resembled the previous year’s trend, a Buyer’s frenzy, homes selling over the asking price and continued home price appreciation – much has changed over the last few months. The consensus by many experts is that with rising inflation and interest rates, along with out-of-control consumer goods and gas prices, we’re likely to see more buyers rethinking their entry point into a home purchase,” stated Joe Bornstein, Rock Springs Realty Broker/Owner.
“At the beginning of this year, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was around 3%. Now, according to Bankrate.com as of May 17, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage has jumped to a staggering 5.57%, the highest in the last 13 years. Economic uncertainty is also causing mortgage rate volatility, and many lenders are predicting we’ll see interest rates at or above 6% by the end of the year. As could be expected, purchase demand is waning as existing home sales fell 8.7% in April in the greater Orlando area, according to the Orlando Regional Realtor Association. Builders are also feeling the pinch of the highest inflation rate in over 40 years as well as continued supply chain issues.
“With home sales under pressure, the parabolic increase in home prices should soon diminish, and we should see modest price declines by mid-next year. With rates now moving quickly higher and affordability and demand being hammered, prices will come under pressure,” state Bornstein.
