In a recent blog post, we shared with you what an incredible year 2016 was for the fix-and-flip market.
Here are eight housing outlook predictions that experts shared to Forbes magazine for 2017:
- Prices will continue to rise–but more slowly (Nela Richardson, chief economist at real estate brokerage Redfin)
- Affordability will worsen as wages are expected to grow in America’s big cities this year, but the share of homes affordable to someone earning the median income is not (Richardson)
- Mortgage rates will be volatile (Svenja Gudell, chief economist at Zillow.)
- Credit availability will improve – maybe.
- Supply will improve but remain short (Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist at Trulia)
- More Millennials will become homeowners and renters (Zillow and Redfin)
- Competition will grow fiercer (Redfin)
- Political uncertainty will be replaced with policy uncertainty
