Home sales prices continue to reach new heights, and record gains in equity are motivating an increasing number of sellers to put their homes up for sale, according to Homelight’s 2022 Buyer and Seller Insights Report. With multiple offers common in many markets, many homeowners have high expectations when it comes to the sale of their home. More than 40% of sellers believe their home will sell for more than asking price, and about half of those surveyed expect to retain 30% or more of the sale price as a profit.

Interest Rates

Mortgage Rates Hover at Five Percent

April 28, 2022
The combination of swift home price growth and the fastest mortgage rate increase in over forty years is finally affecting purchase demand. homebuyers navigating the current environment are coping in a variety of ways, including switching to adjustable-rate mortgages, moving away from expensive coastal cities, and looking to more affordable suburbs. We expect the decline in demand to soften home price growth to a more sustainable pace later this year.

Interest Rates

Mortgage Rates Exceed Five Percent

April 21, 2022
Mortgage rates increased for the seventh consecutive week, as Treasury yields continued to rise. While springtime is typically the busiest homebuying season, the upswing in rates has caused some volatility in demand.
