We’ve got some of the top 2024 housing market predictions to share today as we run through what could happen with home prices, mortgage rates, inflation, unemployment, and how single men could unintentionally tank the housing market. But we’re not just reviewing other housing market forecasts; we’re giving our own as we bet on what will happen by the end of this year. If you’re buying, holding, selling, or even thinking about investing in real estate, this is data you need to hear. First, we’re giving you a full rundown of the state of real estate in 2024 and where we are now. We’ll then move on to inflation, the Fed’s biggest target for the past few years. Inflation is starting to taper off, but will we be able to hit the golden two percent inflation rate by year’s end? And with inflation finally falling, would that mean the Fed can FINALLY cut rates and lead us into a lower mortgage rate environment? We’ll tell you exactly where we think rates will be by 2025. Next, we’re hitting on home prices. Some top forecasters are predicting above-average home price growth, while one BIG listing site sees us going negative by this time next year. Who’s right, who’s wrong, and why is one wild predictor saying that single men will cause home prices to fall by twenty percent?
