Conclusions for Salisbury MD Area Home Buyers
Home buyers looking in the Salisbury Maryland real estate market can take comfort in the stability we’ve seen since early last year. Local economic indicators, mortgage rates and housing inventory have seen few wild swings during this time period.
Multiple offers on desirable, aggressively priced homes have been common this year and those “on the fence” may be losing out by waiting. While a return to the boom years is unlikely anytime soon, the long term outlook suggests both rising home prices and interest rates, putting some of those fence sitters out of the game before they even step on the field.
