Housing demand is up and it’s time to track the spring housing data and see what the selling season will bring. As I always stress, we are working from the lowest bar ever with demand, so let’s add historical context to the data. But, even with mortgage rates higher this year than last year, demand is rising.

When buying or selling a home, you must remember various financial considerations. One such aspect is seller credits, which can play a significant role in real estate transactions. Seller credits, or concessions, are essential for buyers and sellers to understand. They are financial incentives homesellers offer buyers as part of the closing process.

Housing inventory, new listing data and mortgage rates are all rising, but the price cut data percentages are falling.

I will watch for rising mortgage rates to see if they change the weekly data.

I believe this was the most overlooked housing story of the last year because even as mortgage rates rose all the way to 8% , the home price cut percentage data was always about 4% lower year over year.
