Is this market out of control? Well, that depends on who you talk to.

Are we currently dealing with an out-of-control housing market? Neither buyers nor sellers typically want anything to do with a market that could be described that way. They’d rather operate under conditions that allow them to make the right decisions when opportunities present themselves. While this market may be unorthodox, there are still tons of opportunities for buyers and sellers, especially when you’re considering the long term. Today I’ll cover what we’ve experienced in 2022 so far—a lot has changed since the new year began.
