Volatility and the Spring Market

 

The markets are incredibly volatile right now, and rates have been on a roller coaster—but the good news is they’re still holding in the low‑6% range.

 

At the same time, buyer demand keeps building, with eight straight weeks of year‑over‑year application growth.

 

But here’s the real story: inventory isn’t growing. Supply tightened last week, and new listings remain limited—the exact setup that creates spring competition.

 

When demand rises and supply stays flat, prices can firm up quickly.

 

If you’d like, I’m happy to run fresh numbers and help you make a plan for this market.

 

Happy house hunting. 🏡
