Below our CEO, Terry Belt, talks about how in 2023, the real estate market underwent a significant transformation marked by a surge in interest rates, leading to a notable 21% decrease in sales. Despite this downturn, a promising forecast anticipates lower interest rates and increased property listings, creating a favorable outlook for buyers and setting the stage for a more robust real estate landscape in 2024.

Average sold price was up a bit from October as well as compared to the same time last year.
