Many of our clients wonder if the current pace of price growth can continue. Some even ask if prices will decline this year.
Based on researching the Case-Shiller Home Price index and the National Association of Realtors home inventory data, there must be at least 6 months of inventory in a market for prices to have any chance of declining. We wrapped up 2021 with about 12 days worth of inventory in Mountain Metro Market. This marks a 44% decrease in inventory as compared to December 2020.
The dwindling supply and the rising prices have led to a lot of questions about the future of the housing market. Is there a market crash on the horizon? Is there a housing bubble that’s about the burst? The answer is no. Although it is unlikely that the market can continue at this pace indefinitely, all signs point to a healthy housing market in 2022.
