West Hills Real Estate update for February 2023

Now as we are well into the first quarter of 2023 and the mortgage interest rates have started to fall a little the buyers started to come back to the market. According to Forbes, economists predict that the housing markets will not crash in 2022. The homeowners who purchased or refinanced their homes in the past several years with low interest rates are staying put and enjoying equity in their homes. Inventory remains low, which also keeps the property values from dropping. Currently, with interest rates staying between 5.5%-5.9% home buyers are still eager to buy a home.
