• The real estate market is erratic, chaotic,
  and completely unpredictableat least to the
  untrained eye. However, experienced real estate
  agents, market analysts, and even advanced data
  platforms can spot and identify trends in the
  real estate markettrends that will help you with
  your property sales and purchases. Below are ten
  real estate market trends in 2022.

1. Housing Inventory Is Dropping

• As of 2022, the housing inventory in the
  United States has decreased significantly. With
  the number of homes on the market dropping in the
  United States, its clear that there will be
  fewer choices and, therefore, more competition
  among buyers. If you are considering selling your
  home, youll want to sell it while inventory is
  still dropping so that you can sell it at its
  listing price.

2. Home Prices Are Skyrocketing

• Throughout this year, home prices in most
  major U.S. cities have risen considerably.
  Mortgage rates are increasing faster than ever
  before, and housing is becoming increasingly
  unaffordable for many Americansespecially
  members of the younger generations (20 to 35
  years old) who will eventually face housing
  expenses that not even their salaries can cover.

3. Mortgage Interest Rates Are Low

• The federal interest rates in 2022 are still
  below the levels they reached in 2007, prior to
  the housing crash. At the height of the housing
  crash and sub prime mortgage crisis, interest
  rates rose on average to around five percent. As
  of 2022, however, interest rates are at their
  lowest everas low as two percent.

4. Online Real Estate Resources Are Growing

• There has always been an abundance of real
  estate information available online, but online
  tools and resources have never been as advanced
  and interactive as they are in 2022. For example,
  smart real estate apps can request satellite
  images of your home or specific areas around your
  home that you want to market and sell well before
  your sale is scheduled to go live. Real estate
  market data is an incredibly useful tool for
  businesses and real estate agents who need
  constant access to housing trends and data.

5. More Risky Buying Options Are Available

• Even though home prices are skyrocketing,
  reckless buyers and inexperienced investors are
  still purchasing homes to flip on the real estate
  market. In 2022, real estate investing has become
  a full-scale industry in the United States. With
  the increase in lending marketplaces and online
  mortgages, more people than ever before can take
  out risky mortgages with relatively low interest
  rates, even with no down payment. Rent-to-own
  houses are just one example of a risky buying
  option that has become increasingly popular this
  year.

6. The Housing Market Is Competitive

• This year, there are more investors and
  families looking for a home or investment
  property than there are available properties. As
  a result of this supply-and-demand imbalance,
  housing is generally sold or rented at its
  listing pricenot a penny below. There may be
  room for negotiation in more rural markets, but
  most cities and wealthy suburbs have a housing
  market that is very competitive and full of
  desperate buyers, especially for landlord
  investors who want to purchase rental properties.

7. Rent Expenses Are Increasing

• Housing prices have grown tremendously over
  the past five years, so more and more people are
  turning to renting a home or an apartment rather
  than buying a home. As a result, rents are on the
  rise. Not only are more people taking out risky
  mortgages with low down payments, but more people
  than ever before must rent because they cant
  afford to purchase a home. With fewer homes being
  bought by home buyers this year, there is less
  competition for landlords looking to fill their
  vacant rental properties online or in person with
  renters who have a stable income and good credit
  scores.

8. Foreclosures Are Occurring More Frequently

• Foreclosure rates in the United States have
  been dropping significantly since 2012, but they
  began to increase again in recent years. As of
  2022, foreclosure rates are almost as high as
  theyve ever been due to increasingly
  unaffordable housing prices and insufficient
  wages across the United States. If foreclosure
  rates continue to increase at the rate they are
  now, we may be in for a housing market crash in
  the near future.

9. People Are Selling Their Homes for Cash

• Cash is coming back in style. Due to
  less-than-ideal circumstances, such as divorce
  and foreclosure, many homeowners have been
  willing to sell their homes for cash in 2022.
  Several cash home buying companies offer cash
  deals for homeowners who cant afford to repair
  their homes or have a limited amount of time to
  get through the home selling process.

10. A Housing Market Crash May Be On Its Way

• It is unclear whether or not a housing market
  crash will occur in the near future. But
  according to several studies and reports, a large
  percentage of all homeowners with a mortgage say
  that they cant afford their monthly payments
  anymore due to stagnant wages and rising housing
  costs. Foreclosure rates are increasing every
  day, and homeowners are feeling the pinch of
  their mortgage payments each month. Something
  about the housing market has to change for U.S.
  citizens to stand any chance of affording housing
  over the next few years. This indicates that
  there must be a housing market crash at some
  point in the near future to compensate for the
  housing bubble that is currently affecting
  everyone in the United States.
