The freeze affecting many housing transactions is showing signs of thawing, according to insights shared by Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist of the National Association of Realtors. Speaking to a large audience of real estate professionals at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston on November 14, Yun expressed optimism about the future of the housing market.
Yun highlighted that the anticipated increase in real estate sales could reach as high as 14% next year. This forecast comes as various economic indicators suggest a potential recovery in the housing sector, which has faced challenges in recent months due to rising interest rates and economic uncertainty.
As consumer confidence begins to rebound, Yun emphasized that the easing of transaction freezes could lead to a more vibrant market. This shift is expected to benefit both buyers and sellers, creating opportunities for growth and revitalization within the real estate industry. The upcoming year may usher in a renewed sense of activity and optimism among real estate professionals.
