Realtor.com added that home sales in the 100 biggest markets will decline an estimated 2.2%, while nationwide sales will inch up by a scant 0.1%.
“Now that we’re seeing the beginning of an affordability turnaround, home buyers are still looking for markets where they can capitalize on lower prices,” said Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale. “Even in some of the more expensive markets, we’ll see double-digit sales growth as sales start to rebound from their historic lows, helped by mortgage rates which are expected to finally relent.”
