How an Expert Can Help You Understand Inflation & Mortgage Rates

.

Notes from The Cobb Group: Our market is certainly affected by rising rates and inflation, however our market is still unique compared to primary markets around the country.  We met with Sam Cavanaugh, a top local lender with Mortgage Network, Inc., this week and concur with his thoughts on the current real estate market. "I do firmly believe the real estate market from a supply and demand perspective is very healthy.

The Million Dollar Question

Everywhere I go people keep asking about my thoughts on the local real estate market. Is it going to flatten? Will home prices go down if we wait to buy? How is rising inflation, and how are the interest rates affecting the local real estate market? Should I buy now? I don’t want to miss the market, should I sell now?

History is the greatest predictor of the future. That being said, we are in unique times, and we would never have been able to predict that a worldwide pandemic would spur the wild west type real estate market of the last two years!
