The Salt Lake City metro area is forecasted to see a 15.2% year-over-year sales growth. This comes after an already record-breaking performance during the pandemic.
Mortgage rates are expected to rise to 3.6% by the end of the year. It may be in your best interest to buy or refinance sooner rather than later.
Housing supply is expected to recover from COVID lows. Homebuyers should expect competition, but there is room for hope: the for-sale housing supply is expected to rebound from pandemic lows as more sellers plan to enter the market.
Sellers will face more competition. Homeowners who are ready to sell in 2022 are in a good position. However, as for-sale inventory begins to return, sellers will face more competition.
