The 2014 Forecast:
Existing-home sales are expected to retain the healthy gains seen this year, while prices will stay on an uptrend in 2014.
- Limited supplies were the biggest factor in price performance in the past year, with inventory bouncing around 13-year lows so expect inventory shortages to be felt again next spring.
- Nationally, the supply of homes for sale stands at five months' worth. (Months' supply is a measurement of how long it would take to sell everything at the current pace of sales. A market balanced between buyers and sellers has about six months' supply of homes.) The current level slightly favors sellers!
- Mortgage reform is kicking in on January 10, bringing significant changes to home loan fiancing. That may bring some changes to the market that may impact current predictions.
