When will the market peak this year? What does the market climate look like today? We’ve certainly experienced some changes in the housing market recently compared to the last twelve months. If you had asked me the best time to buy last year, I would’ve told you the spring when there’s low inventory. Likewise, I would’ve advised that the end of summer is the best time to buy when there’s significantly more inventory.
However, 2016 will be different. In December, the Fed increased interest rates by 0.25%. They will most likely continue to raise rates until the end of the year. By then, they might hit 5% and remain high into 2017. The Fed wants to maintain market recovery by raising short-term rates. We’ve seen this in 1984 and 1994.
