November Newsletter 2023 Hawkins-Poe Realtors Section 01 Outlook - Give Thanks

Rising interest rates are currently adding a layer of challenge for prospective homebuyers, impacting
their affordability.  This increase in borrowing costs makes it harder for buyers to secure their dream
homes, potentially reshaping their purchasing strategies.  Compounding this, the real estate market is
entering its typical seasonal slowdown.

The average number of homes available in October went from 2.2 months of supply last year to 1.4
this year, and 24 of the 26 NWMLS counties reported a decrease in the number of homes sold for
October.

While some areas are seeing a decline in the average sales price, the lack of inventory has left buyers
with fewer options and is helping to hold up residential prices.  Buyers and sellers should stay
informed about these trends to make educated decisions in the evolving real estate landscape.
