Hot Real Estate Market Trends
The U.S. housing market’s growth is predicted to increase from 2021 to 2022. According to Zillow, U.S. home values have gone up 11.6% in one year and Zillow predicts U.S. home values will rise 11.7% by April 30th, 2022.
The U.S. real estate market is currently a seller’s market with hot real estate markets in Austin, TX, Raleigh, NC, and Stamford, CT.
High U.S. Bidding-War Rates & Cash Offers
It is also becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to join bidding wars in hot housing markets. “Nearly two-thirds (64.0%) of home offers written by Redfin agents in March faced competition up from a revised rate of 62.1% in February,” Lily Katz of Redfin reported.
CNN reported in May that “the median sale price for existing homes climbed 16% from the first quarter of 2020 to $319,200.”
