It’s worth keeping in mind that our real estate data for sales and prices are reported results from February’s closings, and are thus generally based on buying decisions and contracts written a month or two prior to closing. They’re what are referred to as “lagging economic indicators” because they follow market conditions rather than precede them – thus they’re much better at telling us about the past than predicting the future.

So, if we want to make predictions about the future of our real estate markets, we need to consider the data that are affecting today’s home-buying decisions. Those “leading economic indicators” include factors such as income, prices, interest rates, employment and the availability of homes. And at the present time, we just don’t have a solid basis to make predictions about those (other than availability) – current events impacting many key indicators are simply too chaotic right now.

We wish we had a crystal ball, but failing that, we’ll be keeping close watch on the real estate markets and doing our best to keep you informed. And we’re always here to answer your questions and concerns – please give us a call anytime.
